We will begin the evening with our silent auction, featuring a variety of items donated by local businesses, followed by a live auction led by auctioneer Bill Seretta. This year's live auction features several new family-friendly additions, as well as our hot, new adventure: a five-night dude ranch experience for four at HF Bar Ranch in Wyoming! Spring Festival & Annual Plant Sale - May 19th, 2012 Enjoy the warming weather by attending our family-friendly Spring Celebration.  We invite local farms and other organizations to participate in our celebration and provide activities, crafts, games, and demonstrations.  In past years, activities have included seed planting, felting, a scavenger hunt, nature weaving, crafts, and more.  The Spring Celebration offers food, music, education and fun! The Spring Celebration costs $5 per person or $20 for a family, with a 50% discount for members! Art Fest - August 4th, 2012 Each summer, the Farm welcomes over 50 New England artists and artisans in an open market setting at the Farm.  The works range from the paintings of Wolfe's Neck to ceramics and jewelry.  Whether you take home a view of our Farm or just enjoy a day outdoors, the Art Fest is an enjoyable excuse to visit Wolfe's Neck Farm.  Admission is Free! September Golf Outing - September 17th, 2012 Grab your clubs and hit the links!  Join Wolfe's Neck Farm for our annual Golf Outing at Highland Greens in Topsham.  After you organize a team of four, the day is organized as a scramble.  Prizes are awarded for low gross, low net, closest to the pin and longest drive.  Registration also includes a lunch featuring local beef. Harvest Dance - September 29th, 2012 The historic Mallett Barn provides the venue for our annual Harvest Dance!  Enjoy beverages from Gritty's as the music and dancing gear up for the evening. The Harvest Dance is a wonderful way to enjoy the season, the Farm, and a night out with friends.  Pumpkin Hayrides - Weekends in October Our Pumpkin Hayrides run every weekend in October, Saturday and Sunday leaving on the hour from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.  Meet at the Little River Farmhouse and climb aboard the tractor for a ride out to our pumpkin patch.  There you will learn about the life cycle of pumpkins and pick out your favorite pumpkin to take home with you.  On the ride back to the farm, enjoy an apple from local orchard Sweetser's Apple Barrel and Orchards.  Pumpkin Hayrides are $6 per person or $20 for a family. Fall Festival - October 13th, 2012 Our Fall Festival is a celebration of the year's harvest.  Similar to the Spring Celebration, we cooperate with local farms and organizations to provide activities including seed saving, hay climbing, horse team demonstrations, pumpkin decorating and more.  We also run pumpkin hayrides during the festival - take a tractor ride out to our pumpkin patch and pick your favorite pumpkin.  The Fall Festival also offers hot food and lively music.  This is a great educational afternoon for families. The 2010 Fall Festival was a hit...read about the day in Travelling Momma's blog.  The Fall Festival costs $5 per person or $20 for a family. The Night Tree - December 1st, 2012 A holiday tradition for children, our Night Tree event is inspired by Eve Bunting's book The Night Tree.  Her story is about a family that feeds the forest animals by making decorations for a special tree.  Each hour during the day, we read her story together, and then decorate pinecones with birdseed and string popcorn, dried fruit and cranberries.  We take a short hike on the trails to leave these tasty treats in our woods for the animals.  This event costs $5 per child.  Online registration will be available shortly.
