Spring Clean-Up Weekends - May 3-5 and 10-12, 2013 Each winter, Nature spreads leaves and debris throughout our beautiful campground, and each spring a group of fun, friendly volunteers come to help clean it up! In thanks for your help, we provide free camping and some meals! Annual Plant Sale - May 18, 2013 Annuals, perennials, seedlings and more! Stop by the Farm on Saturday, May 18th from 9-1, and check out our great selection of plants donated by our friends, neighbors and volunteers! Rather than buying from chain stores that ship plants in from all over the world, why not support the Farm while enhancing your landscaping with local tried-and-true favorites? Admission to the Plant Sale is free. Spring Festival & Annual Plant Sale - June 1, 2013 Enjoy the warming weather by attending our family-friendly Spring Celebration. We invite local farms and other organizations to participate in our celebration and provide activities, crafts, games, and demonstrations. In past years, activities have included seed planting, felting, a scavenger hunt, nature weaving, crafts, and more. The Spring Celebration offers food, music, education and fun! The Spring Celebration costs $6 per person or $20 for a family, with a 50% discount for members! Art Fest - Canceled for 2013 Each summer, the Farm welcomes over 50 New England artists and artisans in an open market setting at the Farm. The works range from the paintings of Wolfe's Neck to ceramics and jewelry. Whether you take home a view of our Farm or just enjoy a day outdoors, the Art Fest is an enjoyable excuse to visit Wolfe's Neck Farm. Admission is Free! September Golf Tourney Grab your clubs and hit the links! Join Wolfe's Neck Farm for our annual Golf Outing at Highland Greens in Topsham. After you organize a team of four, the day is organized as a scramble. Prizes are awarded for low gross, low net, closest to the pin and longest drive. Registration also includes a lunch featuring local beef. Harvest Dance Featuring the Mallett Brothers Band - Saturday, September 28th, 2013 The historic Mallet Barn provides the venue for our annual Harvest Dance! Enjoy beverages from Gritty's as the music and dancing gear up for the evening. The Harvest Dance is a wonderful way to enjoy the season, the Farm, and a night out with friends. 2012 was a huge success, and we're excited that The Mallett Brother's Band will join us again in 2013! Pumpkin Hayrides - Weekends in October Our Pumpkin Hayrides run every weekend in October, Saturday and Sunday leaving on the hour from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Meet at the Little River Farmhouse and climb aboard the tractor for a ride out to our pumpkin patch. There you will learn about the life cycle of pumpkins and pick out your favorite pumpkin to take home with you. Pumpkin Hayrides are $6 per person or $20 for a family (including pie pumpkins). Fall Festival - Saturday, October 12th, 2013 Our Fall Festival is a celebration of the year's harvest. Similar to the Spring Celebration, we cooperate with local farms and organizations to provide activities including seed saving, hay climbing, horse team demonstrations, pumpkin decorating and more. We also run pumpkin hayrides during the festival - take a tractor ride out to our pumpkin patch and pick your favorite pumpkin (additional cost). The Fall Festival also offers hot food and lively music. This is a great educational afternoon for families. The Fall Festival costs $6 per person or $20 for a family (includes two adults and their children). The Night Tree - Saturday, December 7th, 2013 A holiday tradition for children, our Night Tree event is inspired by Eve Bunting's book The Night Tree. Her story is about a family that feeds the forest animals by making decorations for a special tree. Each hour during the day, we read her story together, and then decorate pinecones with birdseed and string popcorn, dried fruit and cranberries. We take a short hike on the trails to leave these tasty treats in our woods for the animals. This event costs $5 per child. Online registration will be available shortly. Past Events: Spring Gala & Auction - Saturday, April 27th, 2013 Join neighbors and meet new friends from the Greater Portland/Mid-Coast area at our Eighth Annual Spring Gala and Auction, held at the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport. We will begin the evening with our silent auction, featuring a variety of items donated by local businesses, followed by a live auction. This year's live auction features several new family-friendly additions. |
