An organic farm, Holly Hill focuses on teaching and learning with its school programs and summer camp offerings. Holly Hill features over 16 different options to get kids aged 3-18 involved in and excited about life on the farm.  My 4-year-old will be attending the "Baby Spinach" program this summer, where she will learn things like sowing seeds, exploring the woods, and feeding the animals.  The Young Farmers even get to sell their produce at the local Farmer's Market!

Every Thursday from mid-June to mid-October vendors bring fresh produce, flowers, and foods such as local honey, cheese, jam, sauces, fresh fish, and grass-fed meats to the Cohasset Farmer's Market. Hand-made soaps, art, and herbals are also in abundance. Your child can take a a pony ride in the lovely setting, which is in the center of Cohasset.  Grab a snack and then head on over to the other side of the Common for some fantastic outdoor music performances starting at 6pm.  You might even be able to relax while the kids run free at this safe and very family-friendly event!

These beautiful woodland parks, stewarded by The Trustees of Reservations, offer 10 miles of kid- and dog-friendly trails.  Grab a map on your way in and go on a treasure hunt.  My kids like to bring their Halloween buckets and fill them with pinecones, leaves, and rocks that they find. Look for big boulders and a small stepping bridge along the way.
