UPDATE: Howell Farm is OPEN Saturday 10/1 10:00–4:00 for self-guided tours. Wheat planting has been postponed due to rain.
On Saturday, Oct. 1 join staff at Howell Living History Farm for their wheat planting program from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wheat planting is a delicate operation, and the soil has to be just right to plant on schedule...but the work of threshing, grinding, and milling wheat for flour or animal feed goes on rain or shine.
Join farmers in the barn on the threshing floor, in the woodshed—where you can lend a hand cutting firewood for the kitchen stove—and in the farmhouse to help churn butter for bread made with Howell Farm wheat. As a 'thank you' for your help, you’ll go home with a share of the harvest: a bag of freshly-ground flour, complete with a recipe to make whole wheat bread at home. Parking and admission are free.
Call (609) 737-3299 with any questions or concerns.
