It was a beautiful spring day, and Greenwell Foundation welcomed over 100 young and young-at-heart members of our community to our May Open Barn celebrating Unicorns last week.

Executive Director Jolanda Campbell was particularly pleased with the behavior of our 2 newest members of the Greenwell Foundation family; goats Billy and Taco.
“They had a great time meeting everyone, and all our visitors loved them!”
