October at the Farm: Pumpkins and Running
Pumpkin Day. Saturday, October 3, 10:00-2:00.
Rain date Sunday, October 4.
10/3 NOTE: Pumpkin Day IS HAPPENING TODAY. Bring something plastic to sit on as the wooden wagon decks are wet!
Please join the ICF for our annual pumpkin patch picking. Meet at the pickup area and hop a tractor-drawn wagon for the 15-minute ride to our field of jack-o-lanterns, pie pumpkins, and decorative gourds. As you might expect, we will limit the number of unrelated people per wagon and require masks during the ride. With these adjustments we may not be able to fit everyone in on a ride, though we will do our best! Walking to the pumpkin patch is also a lovely stroll past our greenhouses and salad crops, and we will happily transport your pumpkins back to the pick-up area so you don’t have to carry them! If you don’t attend on 10/3, you may pick-up your pumpkins from the courtyard during our regular pick-up.

The Harvest Run is happening! But it will look a little different this year.
You are invited to select one of the specially curated routes in the Intervale or around the Old North End (1 k, 3k, 5k, and 10k options available!) and walk or run this route anytime during the week of Monday, October 12th-Sunday, October 18th.
Registration for the 2020 Harvest Run for Sustainability is free this year but please consider a donation in lieu of registration fees. All funds will benefit the Sustainability Academy directly. Everyone who registers will get a packet of seeds, thanks to our friends at High Mowing Seeds.
Register for or donate to the Harvest Run here.
You are encouraged to post photos from your route (or descriptions of what you saw/heard/smelled along your route.) Simply tag it with #SAHarvestRun and/or post to our Facebook event page.
If you are exploring the farm and the fields of ICF, post your photos and thoughts to the ICF Facebook page!
