Fall Plowing & Manure Spreading

Saturday, September 16 | 10:00–4:00

Children's Craft: Dirt & Worms Dessert (11:00–3:00)


It’s time to plant winter wheat, which means it’s time to help fill the farm's "New Idea" spreader with old bedding, corn cobs, and manure...then follow the farmer and horses out to the field and watch as they spread it over the ground.

Once the soil is ready, you can help with the next step and turn over the earth with a mouldbord plow pulled by another team of horses. Farmers will be there to drive the team and teach you how to turn a perfect furrow.
