Wheat Planting, Wheat Weaving, Threshing & Baking 

Saturday, September 28| 10:00–4:00

Children's Craft: Harvest Maidens (11:00–3:00)


Learn how wheat is planted, cleaned, ground into flour, and baked into bread! First, head to the fields and watch our farmers plant winter wheat using our horse-drawn Ontario Grain Drill. Then, head to the barnyard to help us thresh this year's crop using hand and horse-powered methods. Finally, help us mill the threshed grain into flour and stop by the farmhouse to test the final product!
