East Aurora "C.A.R.E.s"
 

The East Aurora Rotary Club recently supported the 2024 Dinner Series at Stillwater Farm, in Boston, NY. The fundraiser supports the expansion of the C.A.R.E. at Stillwater, a program that invites pediatric patients from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Oishei Children's Hospital Cancer & Blood Disorders Program and their families to join us at the farm for a special day of outdoor fun, farm education, and healthy eating experiences.

Renowned chef Brian Mietus from Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant in Buffalo cares deeply about the provenance of the ingredients they serve, and the farm’s products regularly grace the menu at this respected farm-to-table restaurant. Stillwater Farms partnered with Bacchus for this deserving cause.

Owned by Jay and Margaret Braymiller, Stillwater Farm is a small, family operation located on 32 acres in the rolling hills of Boston, New York. For the past 23 years, their family has slowly rehabilitated the 200-year-old farmhouse that came with the property and worked diligently to regenerate the long-neglected land. Today, they raise sheep and chickens for market. Their farm is also home to companion animals including horses, a donkey, some sheep who are lifetime residents, and potbelly pigs Eleanor Pigby and Penny Lane.

Whether they’re destined for the table or life as a family pet, they treat every animal with the care and dignity, ensuring every day they spend on the farm is a happy one.
