Open Farmyard runs Wednesdays (3pm-5pm) and Saturdays (9:30am-11:30am), June 7th through October 28th.
Join Land’s Sake educators on the farm for weekly drop-in activities including stories, picking and planting in the Education Garden, exploring the chicken coop and more! This is a free program for young children and caregivers. Activities are geared for ages 2.5 through 7, but children of all ages are welcome to participate. Come for one activity or stay for the full two hours! A schedule will be posted near the parking lot at the beginning of each session. (Open Farmyard is weather-dependent and cancellations will be posted on our social media page.) This program is supported in part by a grant from the Weston Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency and is free for all, though we do accept donations. Open farmyard runs from June - October each year. Sign up is encouraged, though not required.
