Farmhouse Family Day: Beautiful Bees

Take a break from this hot and rainy August weather as we learn about the importance of bees and how they affect our everyday life. Bring your own bee to life with some simple, easy to use materials right here in our museum! Enjoy lawn games, colonial-era toys, a farm tour, or just a socially distanced picnic on the lawn. Family Day runs from 11-3 and is always free for all ages.

What to expect on your visit:

• Farmhouse Family Day is free and open to all ages, ideal for children ages 4-10.

• The bee-themed craft activity will begin at 1PM.

• Farm activities (i.e. planting, weeding) and beehive demo are limited, first-come first-served basis beginning at 12PM. Make sure to wear close-toed shoes and prepare to get dirty.

Other things to do while you are here:

• Stop by our Farm stand (from 11AM-3PM) featuring Wyckoff Farm fresh veggies and herbs as well as neighborhood vendors.

• Sign up for a “Sunflower Vegetable Share” food box, a low-cost seasonal fruit and vegetable share, accepting EBT/SNAP.

• Drop off food scraps for compost.
