Back to Bethlehem
Our Summer 2005 cover story featured Sister Augusta Collins ’00 Ph.D. plant science/agronomy (pictured with a John Deere) and Sister Telchilde Hinckley ’00 Ph.D. animal science/reproductive physiology (pictured with cattle) working their farm in Bethlehem, Connecticut.
Not long ago we checked in on the famous farming nuns at their monastery in Bethlehem, Connecticut, and found Sisters Augusta and Telchilde still plying their science degrees raising Belted Galloways and making the Gouda cheese that quickly sells out when offered to the public. They posed in front of a nearly finished monastery addition (above). Cheesemaker Mother Noella Marcellino ’03 Ph.D. was working overseas when we visited.
