Tip# 19: Go 'Green Acres' this Saturday

If you are running out of activities to keep your kids entertained this summer - you can bring them to our farm on Saturday!  No, we won't put them to work.  The land that we farm is leased from the Peconic Land Trust and is part of the Charnews Farm Agricultural Center.  On Saturday the Land Trust is hosting the second annual Family Farm Day from 11:00 - 3:00 pm.  
There will be farm animals to meet, pony rides, and old-fashioned barnyard games like sack races.  The Slow Foods East End Chapter will prepare dishes of local bounty to share.  I bet there will be tomatoes! There's also a bake sale  - and last year there were some seriously outstanding desserts made by volunteers.  Live music by Darlene Graham and the Shades of Green Band, face painting and arts & crafts - there's something for everyone on Saturday.  And admission is free.
2nd Annual Family Day at the Farm is at Ag Center at Charnews Farm
3005 Youngs Avenue, Southold

11:00 - 3:00 Rain date Sunday August 14.
