This nonprofit organization offers programs focused on building positive relationships with the natural world, says Paula Dumont, a volunteer at the farm. In October, the focus is on potpourri making and pumpkin picking and programs with animals. Visitors coming for a program often spend as much as 45 minutes doing hands-on activities with peacocks, ducks, cows, horses and pigs. Traditional hay rides also among the offerings. Visitors need to make reservations by calling 791-4534.
