their willingness to participate . We give the money to a number of environmental nonprofits , but my favorite one is called Forests for Monarchs . They are a small nonprofit organization that works to restore the forests in Mexico where Monarch Butterflies spend the winter . I actually had the opportunity to go down to Mexico and meet Jose Luis Alvarez , who started Forests for Monarchs . He ’ s planted over 10 million trees over the last 30 years . We ’ ve managed to plant 100,000 trees through our philanthropic outreach initiatives since Vermont Woods Studios was founded .”
Farabaugh ’ s dedication to environmental sustainability also manifests through Stonehurst ’ s wildlife habitat . “ The Stonehurst nature sanctuary has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat ® through their ‘ Garden for Wildlife ’ program . We have a butterfly garden where we plant milkweed and nectar flowers for pollinating insects , and we also have a variety of fruit trees in our on-site orchard . We also have a wonderful network of trails that run through the property . Our customers can take a short hike through the grounds , or they can bring a picnic blanket , open a bottle of wine , and bask in the beauty of nature .”
