Kingdom Farm and Food Days at Atkins Field

Past event
Aug 17, 2018, 3 to 6 PM

Join us for the ninth annual Kingdom Farm and Food Days event at Atkins Field on Friday, August 17, coinciding with the Hardwick Farmers Market!

We will have baby goats and bunnies! A wooden toy maker will be demonstrating his craft, as well as blacksmiths, and a chance for children to try their hand at fiber arts with art teacher Beth LeCours. Eden Ice Cider will be on hand with varieties of heritage apples to taste - as well as their incredible ice ciders! Green Mountain Farm to School will be putting on a scavenger hunt. We regret that our draft horse cannot make it this year due to a family emergency of his owner's - but there will still be lots to do and animals to see! Hope you can join the fun!
