October Education Programs at Wright-Locke Farm (Winchester, MA)
Canning, stargazing, soup making, and more
Though the autumnal equinox marks the slowing pace of life on the farm, there is still a lot happening at Wright-Locke Farm (Winchester, MA) during the month of October. The U-Pick organic raspberry operation runs through the beginning of the month, the farmers are still harvesting fruits, veggies, herbs, and flowers from the fields for local markets, and the historic 1827 Barn is humming with late season special events and education programs.
