Estate Sale, March 10 from 10 am to 5 pm

We’re in the process of packing up the shop inventory so we can start setting up for our Spring Estate Sale from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, March 10.  This sale will include decorative and functional household items, jewelry, old books, some very nice clothing and accessories, linens and other items.  Many of you have contacted us over the last few months about donating items for this sale which we welcome.  This is a great time to go through those things you’ve been debating getting rid of and donate them to us.  We will give you a tax deduction form and all proceeds benefit the Farm’s educational programs. 

 

Spring Clean Up, March 17 & 18 from 10 am to 3 pm

Help get the Farm ready for the new season! On the 18th century farm, fields and trails need to be cleared, fences rebuilt, and wood moved and stacked.

Behind the scenes, there is greenhouse work, wood splitting, cleaning animal pens and even some indoor jobs. Bring work-gloves and dress for the weather.

The Farm will provide a picnic hot dog lunch. Families and groups are welcome. RSVP by March 15 to jen...@1771.org.
