Massaro Community Farm in Woodbridge to hold 'Celebrate Spring festival'
WOODBRIDGE - Massaro Community Farm will "ring in spring" on May 11 with its
Celebrate Spring festival, according to a release.
"Celebrate Spring will feature a traditional Maypole
dance, led by legendary dance caller Bill Fischer and the Wry Bred band," the release said.
The day’s events, which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain
or shine, will include flowers and hanging baskets
for sale, sponsored by the Woodbridge Garden Club, the release said.
Organic herb and vegetable seedlings will also
be for sale, the release said.
A few CSA subscriptions are still available for the 2013 season and anyone interested should call the farm at (203) 736-8618 or visit the CSA

Also from the release:
At Celebrate Spring, the farm will be unveiling a newly
completed section of its nature trail. A guided walk of the trail will help
with bird identification; visitors are encouraged to bring binoculars. A workshop
on the history of herbs, selection and their uses is also planned. Celebrate
Spring marks the beginning of the fourth season at Massaro Community Farm.
In 2013, the farm plans to offer more educational programming
