Farmhouse Family Day: Putting the Farm to Sleep
October 18 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Free
The growing season is over and the harvest season has begun! Join us as we tour the farm to learn about different preservation techniques.
October is the time to preserve the last remnants of the summer harvest and store it in our historic house to savor throughout the winter. Join us for Open House NY Weekend to explore the house top to bottom with special architecture tours.
Additionally, take a tour around the farm and learn about different methods farmers use to prepare the grounds for winter. Tours and activities will start at 11:30am (ages 4-7) and again at 1:00pm (Ages 8-12)
Peek into the attic and historic root cellar to see where we store our preserved yields and try your hand at a quick pickle!
