Participants will be able to try free samples of our award-winning cider and non-alcoholic cider that we produce on the farm. Plus, if you find a cider you love (hard or non-alcoholic) you can purchase a bottle to bring to Thanksgiving celebrations.
DIY Charcuterie Workshop
Why not bring a charcuterie box to your family's Thanksgiving dinner with help from our DIY Charcuterie Workshop with the Nosh Box? On Sunday, November 17, 2024, from 11 am - 1 pm, learn techniques from a local pro, Lizz Backler, and discover how to find the right cheeses, meats, jams, and crunchy bites and how to plate them delicately within your box. This event will focus on fresh, late-season apples, and what snacks pair perfectly with them.
Make-Your-Own Paper: Holiday Shapes
Bring family, friends, and kids to the Make-Your-Own Paper: Holiday Shapes event on November 22, 2024, from 10 am - 11 am. Work alongside local paper maker Mindy Paper and learn all of the tips and tricks on creating new paper pulp and cutting it into fun holiday shapes. This paper is made from blending old notes, shopping lists, junk mail, and dried flowers. Once the paint dries, you can use your new creations for notes, gift tags, and seasonal decorations.
Indoor Family Yoga
Give thanks to movement with our free indoor family yoga event. Krista Maltais, Childlight Yoga Certified Instructor and owner of Relief Parenting Resource and Respite Center in Hampton, NH will teach the concepts of yoga through play. While this event is geared more towards kids ages 3-6 and parents, all are welcome to join. In this class, participants will learn body awareness, improve social-emotional skills, increase their attention span, and engage with caregivers and parents through songs, games, and stories.
