Celebrate autumn by taking a guided walk to enjoy the bright colors of the season, picking a pumpkin, bringing the kids for a non-scary Halloween scavenger hunt or shopping for some in-season produce, all in October at Muscoot Farm in Somers.

At any time, bring the children to tour the dairy barn, milk house, ice house, blacksmith shop and several other barns and buildings. Meet the cows, sheep, pigs, goats and horses and participate in family-oriented programs and workshops.
