Join us for an exciting day on the farm amidst the beautiful fall foliage.

This fantastic family event will include:
Historical demonstrations such as broom making, fleece spinning, and Make & Break Engines
Livestock encounters– sheep shearing, cow judging, and lessons about our fascinating honey bees.
Harvest crafts: grapevine wreaths, pumpkin decorating, rolling beeswax candles – and so much more!
