Powisset Farm’s popular annual Powisset Holiday Pig Wagon will return for the second year! This event features the lighting of the Powisset Holiday Pig Wagon, reflecting the long history of the beloved local farm. The public is invited to the free, family-friendly, community event on Saturday, December 6, from 4-5:30PM.

Historic 300-year-old Powisset Farm will be decorated for the holidays. Fire pits will be lit to keep families warm and for roasting s’mores. All-women acapella group Mass Appeal will sing holiday carols during the event. Limited picnic table seating is available; guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs, blankets, or lap robes. There will be a winter-themed craft for the kids. Farm-made delicious hot soups, hot cocoa, hot toddies, beer, wine and s’mores kits will be available for purchase. As tradition dictates, when the sun sets, as the crowd delivers a countdown, two local children will be invited to flip the switch to turn on the lights.

During the event, the Powisset Farm Store will be open for curated holiday shopping, featuring farm produce, local specialty foods, holiday décor, gifts, ornaments, books, and farm-made soups and baked goods.

The Trustees Powisset Farm was once owned by artist, entrepreneur, equestrian and philanthropist, Amelia Peabody, who raised prized Yorkshire pigs, Hereford cows, and horses at the farm. Miss Peabody welcomed the public to see her animals and visit the farm, a tradition embraced by The Trustees. The Holiday Pig Wagon Lighting reflects the farm’s history and commitment to community.

Although this event is free to attend and includes free parking, pre-registration is required as space is limited.

Please note: though we love dogs, they are not allowed at Powisset Farm.
