Farm Event this Weekend!

Hello everyone- it has been a couple of weeks of crazy busy farm life here with little/no rain and the weeds still growing as if they didn't need water to survive. So we've been busy building/installing irrigation lines and pulling weeds. And also, it sure has been hot! The delayed haying allowed all of our bobolink population over the entire farm to complete their nesting cycle and they have all flown the nest. Haying has been completed for the time being so for a very small window- the fields are perfect for picnicking and walking. Please leave your pups at home though- we are still required by our Conservation Restriction to prevent dogs from the property, but you can walk them along the various nearby trails of the Sudbury Valley Trustees and Southborough Open Land Foundation's Beal's Preserve located on the other side of Route 30 from the farm.
We have a couple of new semi-permanent trails on the farm that are not on your maps and are not marked yet, but we are happy to show you where they are. One is the Pasture Walk which winds up and around the hill behind the hangar barn near the trailhead- a short walk but a pretty one that takes you past the goats (for now) and shows you some interesting views of the farm. The other debuts this weekend and is being dubbed the Overlook Trail. It starts on the blue trail in the woods, but winds out to the hayfield and to a beautiful Overlook of the farm valley to the West. It will loop down along the treeline past the vegetable field and back to the main farm road.
Come check out the honeybees on Saturday, August 1 with our beekeeper, Scott Navaroli from 12:30 to 2p. We will also be learning to milk goats in the morning and have an ongoing kids craft table with a bee-theme starting at 10a. Farmstand will be open extended hours from 9a-2p tomorrow as well.
