Harvest at the Farm
Each weekend throughout October, guests can enjoy harvest-themed activities, demonstrations, and crafts. Learn about drying herbs, and preserving apples, pumpkins, and squashes. See traditional methods of cider pressing, hand threshing of grain, corn husking, and bean shelling.
Autumn is also the time for a special treat – cider and doughnuts! Available daily at the Dairy Bar along with Vermont-based Wilcox ice cream and Billings Farm cheese.
This is a perfect family fun weekend full of tasty treats and outdoor activities!
