Notices for Fall events are starting to come in, including these two from Brookford Farm in Rollinsford:
Our Next Hayride is on September 11
Bring the kids out to the farm for a hayride on Saturday, September 11th, at 4 p.m. They’ll get the grand tour of the fields and animals, including cows, pigs, and chickens — and maybe they’ll even get to see some newborn calves. It’s totally free and no reservations are required.
October Quark Festival
This October 10, 2010, from 11 – 4, Brookford Farm will be hosting an event in celebration of real food & local culture with a harvest festival we are calling the Quark Festival, in honor of one of our favorite cheeses. Local artisans will be there, as well as chefs from celebrated local restaurants, and we’ve invited local musicians and farmers as well. Sample our delicious artisinal cheeses as well as other dishes made with our pasture-raised beef and pork, organic vegetables, and renowned dairy products. There will also be workshops on traditional crafts like beekeeping and food preservation, pumpkin-carving, a straw labyrinth, and of course a hayride through beautiful countryside. For kids, there will be crafts, games, activities, and more!
