Fruitlands Museum to Celebrate Harvest Festival This Weekend
Tuesday, October 06, 2015
On Saturday and Sunday, from 12 to 4 PM, Fruitlands will host activities such as a pop-up farm stand featuring produce and livestock from Springdell Farm; sheep, goats, and chickens raised by members of the Wekepeke 4-H Club of Lancaster; a beekeeping demonstration and observation hives hosted by representatives of Worcester County Beekeepers Association; refreshments provided by Carlson Orchards; art-making activities like vegetable prints and lavender sachets; and old-fashioned games.
Visitors to Harvest Weekend will also have the chance to try local fruits and vegetables and to sip on switchel - a tonic made of water and vinegar with ginger and honey often drank by farmers during hay season.
The event is free with museum admission.
