This week we are going to sketch at Avery Farm on South Country Road. I don't have an exact address but it's between the Swan Deli and Robinson Blvd. There are two driveways into the property, the driveway you want to use is the one closest to Robinson Blvd. It's the second driveway on the left if you are traveling East Bound from Main Street on S Country Rd or it's the first driveway on the right after Robinson if you are coming West Bound (from Bellport) on S Country Rd. It's a dirt driveway, the groomed one is the wrong driveway to use.
When you come in, SLOWLY drive to the back, you'll see the driveway extends back into the property, go all the way around bearing right toward the barn. There will a long paddock to your left please park head in to the paddock so that everyone fits. Please do not park along side the barn in case people want to sketch the barn.
This is a SKETCH AT YOUR OWN RISK site. It's a farm and farms are not paved, watch your step...bring good shoes and warm clothes.
Please do not open gates or latches, please request assistance from John, the caretaker. I do not want miniature horses getting out on our watch.
There is an old office you drive by to come onto the propery, you can sketch that, the barn and possibly inside the barn, but please request permission first before entering the barn. It's old and you have to be careful where you walk, please request assistance if you wish to go inside.
Final note, please do not approach the Minis or try to pet the minis in their stalls without permission from John. Minis are very gentle but I do not want to be held responsible if someone gets bitten, for your safety and theirs, please leave them be. We want to be welcome back at this site again in the Spring.
Pat and I visited the farm today and it's a great location. If I am giving precautions, it's because we've been invited to the property and I want it to be a safe sketching evening for us and the precious little minature horses. It's very peaceful there.
