Fall Education Programs at Wright-Locke Farm

Programs for kids, teens, and adults this autumn season

Despite the lingering warmth and humidity of summer, the autumn season is upon us... just like Fall Education Programs at Wright-Locke Farm (Winchester, MA). Our Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday Fall After School Programs for kids in grades K - 2 still have a few spots available. Programs start next week, so don't delay signing up! Each program meets once per week over six weeks, allowing children to experience the transition from summer to autumn in New England while learning in the great outdoors. Each session includes a farm-related lesson, gardening, cooking, outdoor play, and of course, spending time with our beloved farm animals.
