First Fridays at the Farm 2018

Daily life in Texas during the late 1800’s required knowledge of a number of skills, methods and even recipes that will be demonstrated during the monthly sessions. Participants work alongside Nash Farmhands to learn these heritage skills that can still be utilized in present day.

Each month features a different theme.  A participation fee of $3 per person is required and all sessions are scheduled for 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.  For ages 3 and up.
