Popcorn Harvest
2012 Date: October 27

Popcorn is ripe in the fields at Howell Living History Farm, where on Saturday, Oct. 27,  the public is invited to a unique “pick-your-own” event. 

From 11am until 3pm, visitors to the 130-acre working farm can walk the rows of corn and hand pick their own ears of popcorn.   Farmers will be present to show visitors how to husk and shell the corn, and how to pop it over an open fire.  Written instructions will be available for those planning on popping their corn at home using stovetop or microwave methods. 

Ears of popcorn, and other fall decorations will be sold to benefit the Farm's restoration projects.

On a walk-in basis (Groups of eight or more must pre-register)
Time: 11:00am to 3:00pm
Approximate time to complete project: 20 minutes
