Description
After a quick trip to “corn college,” visitors can hit the fields and pick some of the corn that will feed the farm's cows and sheep in the winter. They can help “shuck” — peel the husks from the ears — and “shock” — bundle full stalks to dry — and store the harvest in the corn crib when the horse-drawn wagon in the field is full. At the farmhouse, visitors can make corn-husk figures and tour the 19th-century home. They can also visit the barn, chicken coop, sheep fold and other buildings on this 200-acre farmstead. Volunteer beekeepers will be on hand to answer questions in the honey house, and on Saturday from 1:30-3:30 p.m., the blacksmith will demonstrate the tools and techniques of the trade in the wagon shed.
Event Cost: Free
Event times: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
