The Forsythe harvest festival is offering October weekend farm activities in north Durham, with the current local weekend roundup highlighting Saturday, October 24.
Forsythe Family Farms’ seasonal programme lists pumpkin picking, a corn maze, a craft corner, farm-animal visits, themed quests and scavenger hunts among its harvest activities.
The farm’s official location page places it at 1025 Cragg Road in Greenbank, within Scugog Township. DurhamRegion.com’s October 22 roundup lists a Saturday opening at 9:30 a.m.; the farm asks visitors to confirm current hours before travelling.
Plan enough time on the farm
The organizer asks guests to arrive no later than 3 p.m. so they have time to enjoy the available activities. Its current-events page says admission can be booked online, while walk-in spaces are also available.
Visitors should check the booking information for current admission prices, hours and availability rather than assume all seasonal activities run continuously.
A seasonal harvest programme
The farm describes its harvest festival as an October-weekend programme, not a one-day event being launched for the first time this Saturday.
Its current page also lists an October 25 cider-pressing demonstration. Visitors interested in that separate Sunday activity should confirm the details directly with the farm.
The Forsythe harvest festival combines outdoor family activities with an opportunity to visit a working farm during the autumn harvest season.
