Our Farm to School team has compiled exciting ideas for the whole family to celebrate local farms this October. From corn mazes to hayrides, there are plenty of activities to create lasting memories!

Week 1

Kick off Farm to School Month with a visit to Green Mountain Orchards in Putney! Celebrate the Harvest of the Month by picking your own apples. Open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM.

Week 2

Head to Retreat Farm to meet the new Holstein bull calves, recently arrived from Miller Farm. Retreat Farm is open daily from dawn to dusk.

Week 3

Join us on Sunday, October 13th for Heirloom Apple Day at Scott Farm. Enjoy apple tastings, talks, children's activities, live music, food trucks, and pick-your-own apples from 10 AM to 5 PM. This event is free to the public!

Gather family, friends, and neighbors to reserve a hayride at Wild Carrot Farm. Each ride accommodates 12 people and costs $100; reservations are required in advance.

Week 4

Take a daring walk through the spooky Corn Maze at Gaines Farm in Guilford—open Saturdays and Sundays only. Tickets are $13-15, and children under 4 are free.

Week 5

Wrap up the month with a classic fall tradition: pumpkin picking! Visit Green Mountain Orchards to carve a Jack-o'-lantern with family and friends just in time for Halloween!

Enjoy the festivities!
