The Environmental Cooperative at the Vassar Barns

Happy New Year from The Environmental Cooperative! We wish you joy, peace and many beautiful sunsets in the year to come.

Happy Winter Solstice! We hope you are able to take some time to re-charge and reflect. Today is a cool day for yet another reason! There is a Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction! Jupiter and Saturn will be the closet they have been in 1623! Read more about it below!

We are so proud and happy to announce that we were able to send out 700 holiday cards to homebound senior residents through the Dutchess County Office of the Aging. A very special thanks to the OFA, Minuteman Press, Vassar College Students, artists, and to everyone who helped to make this holiday season a little brighter through fostering a greater sense of community and connection to nature. We are so grateful for the creativity and love you have shared. Happy Holidays and Happy Winter Solstice!
