Farming procedures of
by-gone era demonstrated in Scottsville

Old Fashioned Days at Honey Locust Farms on Sunday, April 27 will feature over 100 draft animals in teams of two, three, four, five and six pulling plows and preparing fields for planting spring crops, reminiscent of a by-gone era. Demonstrations will begin at 9 a.m. and continue throughout the day.

Free horse drawn wagon rides will take visitors into the fields to watch at close range the work being done. Events and parking are free. Refreshments and a chicken barbecue are available. Sheep shearing demonstrations, crafts and baked goods offered for sale and a raffle of an Amish quilt are part of the day.
