Osage Orange Day & Fence Building

Saturday, October 28 | 10:00–4:00

Planting and pruning is only finished when the Osage orange hedgerow is ‘horse high and hog tight.’ Help farmers trim these natural fences, and gather fallen oranges for use in the farmhouse basement...where their scent is thought to discourage insects and spiders from taking up residence.

Weather permitting, visitors can also help farmers rebuild "snake fences" that line the sheep pasture!
