Green Meadows Farm is hosting a road/trail race put on by the National Farmers Market Association. Highlights of this event will include a 1 mile race, a fun run and 5k trail/road race.

There's plenty of fun stuff to do at the farm that make this a day long celebration for family and friends of the runners with educational demos, music, children activities, celebrity chefs from the greater Boston area, farmers market and the local craft brewer community.

June 8 will mark the Hamilton-Wenham Mothers' Club 100th Anniversary celebration which will also include the annual teddy bear picnic. This is the longest-standing tradition in the Hamilton-Wenham Mothers Club. It is a public event held every summer and this year we have invited more than 500 past and current members as well as the general public to recognize and honor the club.

Green Meadows Farm invites families to meet their volunteer workers at the farm - the lambs! They don't get paid for what they do, but they do lots of work at GMF. They arrived a couple weeks ago and have been dutifully eating the winter rye in the front field. Converting plant material into manure just where we need it is an invaluable job. They also happen to be terribly cute, so that helps. Come and meet them officially during Meet the Lambs Day. There will be a craft in the Farmstand and Mrs. Green will be on hand to talk about the sheepies out in the field.
