Attention Homeschool Families, friends and just curious folks… Join us at our family farm for a Cranberry Bloom and Bee focused day of learning, exploring and activities. Located in the southern part of Middleboro on the Carver / Wareham line we focus on growing our cranberries utilizing regenerative farming techniques, farming with nature you might say. We welcome you to join us at the farm to learn about the cranberry bloom, local pollinators, and make your own bog in a cup! Special guests from FoxRock Bee Farm to share even more about the amazing bee! Join us for Homeschool Days and watch your child immerse themselves in an environment that nurtures their curiosity and connects them with the beauty of nature. Grab your tickets, pack a picnic, and get ready for a day of fun on the farm!
