The Township Council voted unani­ mously in favor of two resolutions to move forward with the farmhouse initiative at its regular meeting on Dec. 15. The first resolution was to enter into the public-private partnership with the non­ profit historical society, and the second was to authorize a professional services agree­ ment with HMR Architects of Princeton for a conditions assessment of the Pulda Farm­ house under the township Department of Community Development. The township acquired the 70-acre plot of farmland on Route 130 in 2010 for ap­ proximately $22 million — half in bonded funds, and the other half through open space funds approved by the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Over the past year, members of the his­ torical society and other volunteers have cleaned up the home, which had been hoarded with items. Michael Hritz, director of the Depart­ ment of Community Development and chairman of the historical society, gave a presentation at the council’s work session meeting on Dec. 8, outlining the historical society’s goals for the farm, which is also located on one of the oldest roads in the N ew Y ear's festivities go beyond the party township. “To the best of our knowledge, the prop­ erty dates back to the late 1700s and has had By JESSICA D'AMICO Year’s Eve activities include a little some­ fers the best of the best— family-friendly fun, Staff Writer thing for everyone. a great meal, music and prizes in a celebratory four owners over the time,” he said.

Page 3 "A friend of mine had purchased some land not too long ago, and bees were abandoned on the prop- erty [by the previous owner]. I snooped around one day. I was always interested in bees, so this gave me a chance to go further. Online I read about beekeep- ing and how to start, and I found out all of the infor- mation I needed," he said. Locke contacted the apiary inspector of the state Department of Agriculture to find out how to use his knowledge. "He asked questions about the bees I found, and he said he was looking for those bees and wanted to inspect them. After the inspection, we made a deal to trade knowledge for labor, and it's worked to this day," he said. Locke purchased equipment and the bees from the inspector.
