Now Is the Time to Try Something New The men and women of Lambs Farm have choices in every aspect of their lives, including employment.

Eli was partaking in activities in the gym when Brooke, Quest manager at Lambs Farm, asked Eli if he would be willing to help put labels on cookie and chocolate bags. The holiday season is an exceptionally busy time for all at Lambs Farm, but especially for the Sugar Maple Country Store & Bakery.
