Red Cross Blood Drives at Cider Hill Farm

We’re calling on our amazing farm community to help save lives! Just one donation can save up to three people - and with ongoing blood shortages, every drop counts. This drive is especially meaningful to us at Cider Hill (see below). Book your 1-hr donor session today to help those in critical need.


- From the Farm: A Personal Reason to Give -

Nearly 20 years ago, Valerie, Cider Hill Farm’s Program Director, was diagnosed with an end stage of Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. She required a stem cell transplant - a procedure that required numerous transfusions of red blood cells and platelets from anonymous donors before she was able to produce her own blood again. Moved by Valerie’s survival story and with the full support of the farm team, we are transforming gratitude into action with a series of blood drives held right here on the farm this season. We hope you'll join us.

"Hosting blood drives is a way to honor those who helped me when I needed it most and to give others that same chance at hope and healing. Every donation truly makes a difference - I’ve lived it. I am deeply grateful for the generous spirit of Cider Hill Farm and our community. Coming to work and the farm everyday is a gift. If you have any questions about donating blood or even what becoming a bone marrow donor looks like, I am happy to connect! - Valerie ZXZlbnRzIHwgY2lkZXJoaWxsICEgY29t
