As the crop harvest winds down, Farmer Tim and his crew prepare for winter, but how do wild animals get ready for the cold weather?

This program provides a reduced number of guests and a quieter, sensory-friendly environment, welcoming any family that would benefit from a limited-capacity visit. For questions or concerns, families can reach out to Stacie at skorroch@thetrustees.org.

During the visit, resources will be available, including a limited number of special sensory kits. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring any additional items they may need to enhance their experience.

Families are invited to join a guided hike around the farm fields to discover how wild animals, big and small, spend the fall preparing for winter. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars for a fun exploration as they hike about a mile over level terrain, which may be friendly for jogging strollers depending on recent weather conditions.

Please note that, while four-legged friends are loved, dogs are not permitted at Powisset Farm.

For questions or information on becoming a Trustees member to enjoy free and discounted programs, families can contact powissetfarm@thetrustees.org.
