Come join us at Barrington Farm to learn how we grow heirloom vegetables and flowers as they did in the mid 19th century.  Learn about companion planting as a natural pesticide, organic farming, and seed saving. Join Miss Kellie for a discussion on the heirloom varieties we grow here at Barrington. Make a sweet bag, a botanical journal and take home a poem full of life lessons.
