Harvest Celebration

Harvest Celebration, Saturday, October 7 & Sunday, October 8, 10:00AM – 5:00PM 

Gather and celebrate the change of the season with harvest activities, food, and fun for the whole family.  This lively two-day Harvest Celebration will feature traditional barn dancing, live music, pumpkin bowling, crafts, stories, and all kinds of harvest activities. 

Against a backdrop of autumn foliage, guests can take a picturesque wagon ride through the pastures, husk and shell corn, harvest sunflower seeds for next year’s garden, and press apples into delicious cider. Guests can help gather ripe produce in the Farmstead Gardens, learn all about the varieties of apples in Vermont, and sample the sweet and savory combination of apples and Billings Farm Cheddar Cheeses.
