Dip your own candle and enjoy the festive holiday tree and decorations that fill the Visitor Center and historic barn.

Warm up by the outdoor fire with a cup of cocoa and s’mores, available for purchase. Light adventure can be found on a snowshoe, hike or cross-country ski around the pastures, weather permitting.

On the farm, guests can meet our Jersey cows, draft horses, chickens, sheep, and goats in the barns.
