Summer Activities at the Farm

7/23/2015

 
During June and July the farm hosted  the kids at Hope Christian Academy, a homeschool group, young adults from the Latham Center in Brewster, and two groups from Duxbury Senior Center.    

June 26 was a beautiful day for a  walk in the woods. Six guests joined us for a Walk & Talk along the Avery Trail. We all got an unexpected bonus when Carl joined us in the farmyard and answered questions. 

July 10 we held the Day at the Dairy program where the participants enjoyed learning about the dairy while interacting with the calves.   

For more information about our summer Walk and Talks and educational offerings visit our Programs and Events pages.
