It’s Sweater Weather, y’all! We have the perfect way to celebrate fall in New England with our annual Autumn Open Farm and Maker Market. We’ll be here from 1:30 - 7 with farm animals, sheep shearing, fiber arts demonstrations, soap making demos, farm tours, natural dye demos, music, food vendors, craft cocktails and cocktails, and harvest fun to share for the whole family. There is free parking in the fields and a portable bathroom and hand washing station.
We are joined by Prado De Lana Sheep Farm, Yankee Rock Farm, Fernbridge Farm, Grateful Morning Farm , Mapleland Farms, RAE Designs, Golden Earth Designs, & Foxglove Farm in our market place. You’ll love being able to shop these small, local businesses that make their own high quality products such as wool blankets, yarns, sheepskins, soaps, milk, frozen meats, and gorgeous pottery and more.
Taco Alebrijes will be serving farm-to-table tacos and we’ll be selling our farm’s homemade pies. Hot and cold cider plus craft cocktails will be available to purchase. And of course, cider donuts!
Dress for the outdoors! The market is in the barnyard so you can take cover if necessary, but plan on taking a seat in the field with the sheep or by the barn to just relax and enjoy the day.
There’ll be a pumpkin decorating station, too! Small pumpkins and art supplies are provided.
