Community & Visitor Programs

Engage in moments of
fun and learning with your family through one of our many farm and campground programs led by our educators.

Upcoming Event: The Night Tree

Saturday, December 1st and Saturday, December 8th
9am – 2pm

A holiday tradition for children, our Night Tree event is inspired by Eve Bunting’s book Night Tree. Her story is about a family that feeds the forest animals by making decorations for a special tree. Each hour during the day, we read her story together, and then decorate pinecones with birdseed and string popcorn, dried fruit and cranberries. We take a short hike on the trails to leave these tasty treats in our woods for the animals.

Admission is $5 per person (infants under 2 are free), and is free for all Wolfe’s Neck Members.

First Time Farmers
