Come Out & Enjoy the Farm During Festivals Season

Festivals at Verrill Farm are often some of the most well attended days at the farm. Festivals are a great way to to share the bounty of local fruit and produce grown on the farm with our loyal visitors. 

With the ever changing Covid-19 situation, all of our events are subject to change. We are closely monitoring guidance from state and local governments as we evaluate the each of our planned events. Safety remains a top priority for us at Verrill Farm and will remain the focal point as we make decisions on which events (if any) will be held at the farm this year.  We will continue to post any event updates as time passes. Thank you all for your support. We hope to see you at our next event sometime soon!
