A new farm in Van Wyck dedicated to children with special needs raised nearly $1,700 during its grand opening Sept. 16. Bristol’s For Joy, a 20-arce farm, was started by Rebecca Templeton Barrows to create a safe, welcoming place for kids with special needs, including her 6-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is autistic. The farm was filled with more than 80 smiling faces on grand opening day. Kids and parents rode horses, petted ferrets, chickens and goats, and won raffled prizes.
