Storytime for Friday, June 5
This Friday will be Mermaid Day at Storytime thanks to a wonderful book recommendation by a favorite Friday family (thanks Julia!) We will read Mermaid Day and the lovely The Girl and the Mermaid. I am also planning a very fun craft! And of course, we will enjoy pony rides on Monty and Dancer and feed the friendly farm animals. We will be in our large open air Workshop for Storytime.

For ages 2 and up, however, little sibs are welcome! 12 Bancroft St, Pepperell, MA. Storytime starts at 10:15 after we feed the outdoor animals!

Storytime for Friday, May 29
I have been hemming and hawing over what books to read for Storytime this week- I have a pretty wonderful collection from which to choose! And then I remembered that soon it is my birthday, and I should read books about something I love . . . old farms? Animals? Tea? No! BOOKS! Afterall, most of my life has been guided by literary choices! This week we will read A Library Book for Bear and The Bookshop on Lemon Tree Lane. And of course, we will enjoy pony rides on Monty and Dancer and feed the friendly farm animals. We will be in our large open air Workshop for Storytime.

Hey Friends and Crafters! We are hiring a knitting teacher for COZY CAMP! I am the worst knitter ever!!! Mornings only from 9am-noon. Wonderful setting, all supplies provided and the best kids ever. You are not in charge of group management- just knitting! July 20-24. Must be an excellent knitter and know how to teach a group of children how to knit. You get lots of input for the projects and supplies! Camp is all day, but knitting is mornings only as the kids will do other crafting in the afternoons. email [email protected]

It has only taken me 6.5 years to install one of the simplest upgrades to the Farm. $25, 5 minutes with my favorite handyman, and a certain ginger cat as project manager. A clothesline!

Storytime for Friday, May 22:
"Somewhere, beyond the sea" . . . one of my favorite lyrics from my favorite song in my childhood. And it is our theme for our Storytime this Friday as many people will kick off their New England seaside adventures during the holiday weekend. Heck, I might even get a chance to dip my toes! This week, we will read Hello Lighthouse and Mouse by the Sea and create a seaside craft perfect for summer decor! And of course, we will enjoy pony rides on Monty and Dancer and feed the friendly farm animals. We will be in our large open air Workshop for Storytime.
Parking begins at 9:50 (NO EARLY BIRDS PLEASE- We have a parking system). Storytime is from 10am-11:30am. $10 per child. $20 family limit. Cash or Venmo accepted.

I often daydream about having a little 1900 farmhouse with a small backyard barn with a few animals and a garden- a private home. Then, I get emails like this one, and I remember how much I love sharing our big farm and its crazy menagerie of animals. We are currently booking parties for July and beyond as May and June are as full as can be. This is a great time to book for Fall! www.themakerfarm.com

This was our first time choosing a farm setting and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The kids absolutely loved the craft activities, feeding the animals, running freely around the farm, and especially the pony rides—it was truly a joy to watch them. Your space, the way everything was organized, and the welcoming atmosphere made the evening so special for all of us. We are genuinely grateful for the opportunity to create such wonderful memories, and we appreciate the care you put into making the farm such a warm place for families. We are truly humbled, the kids had real fun, and we hope to return for another celebration in the future.

I just unboxed a large package from a publisher containing so many of my FAVORITE children's books by author Phyllis Alsdurf! Hooray! Just a reminder that Phyllis Alsdurf is joining us on the Farm tomorrow morning for Storytime! She will be here to meet and greet and sign books. Do not let the rain stop you from joining us on the Farm! We are also going to enjoy a FAVORITE craft everyone loves, and I am bringing out our newest puppet- a magical unicorn! Pony rides will be in our indoor arena. Wear your raincoat and wellies- cannot wait to see all of the kiddos in their little rubber boots! My favorite! (We are NOT muddy, though, thanks to our big drains and pavement).
