4th on the Farm

Gather your friends and family for a fun-filled July 4th on the Farm!

Celebrate America’s 250^th birthday with horse-drawn wagon rides, ice cream-making, live music, historic “base ball”, and spelling bees.

Step back in time for a lively game of historic “base ball,” played by 1860 rules, complete with wood shaving baselines, straw-stuffed canvas bases, ash bat reproductions, and barehanded play. Join a team or cheer from the bleachers for this classic American pastime!

Word lovers can test their skills in youth and adult spelling bees with a fun 19th-century twist. Stroll the Farmstead Gardens, including the Victory Garden inspired by WWII-era efforts to encourage home gardening so food processing plants could support the war efforts.

Be sure to stop by the Farmhouse Scoop Shop for Vermont-made ice cream and snacks, the perfect summer treat!
