Hurry to Harvest
It’s harvest season on the farm! Join us in the learning garden to harvest fall plants like carrots, peas, and kale. Learn about roots and soil as you help to plant cover crops that will protect the garden over the winter. Predict the weather the way farmers used to, by looking at the clouds. Watch nature transform as summer turns to fall at Appleton Farms.

Preparing for Winter
The leaves are turning, the ground is getting colder, and there is a lot to do to prepare the farm for winter! Help farmers Emma and Lee prepare the barnyard animals’ winter homes, plant garlic to harvest in spring, and start planning next year’s garden. We’ll spend the darker evenings exploring nocturnal creatures, watching stars, and making warm tea with ingredients from the farm and forest.

Winter Workshop
Prepare for the Winter Solstice with cold-weather crafting projects straight from the farm. Use sheep’s wool and Angora rabbit wool to create decorations, gifts, or tree ornaments. Learn about winter solstice traditions and create your own Yule Log. Make candles from beeswax to light up the darkest nights of the year and give thanks to the bees that are hopefully tucked in for the winter!
