About the Event

The pumpkins are growing fast at Old Town Farm, an Upper Valley Land Trust conservation parcel in Pomfret, VT. It won’t be long until it’s time to harvest! Please join us on Saturday, October 4th for a fun “pumpkin picking party” at this special property to help farmers Neil and Alice Lamson harvest these veggies.

We will be joined by the family oxen who will help haul the pumpkins out of the field. They will be used for their Annual Pumpkin Party on the weekend of October 10th. This a great opportunity to learn about the rich history of this farm and have the chance to lend a helping hand to the local farmers.

Directions: Follow signs posted at 2395 Wild Apple Road, Pomfret, VT to park closer to the fields.
