For a very Mr. Martin spin upon JASNA-NJ’s annual Box Hill picnic, on Saturday, September 21st at 11am, JASNA-NJ will be heading to Longstreet Farm in Holmdel, NJ. Our festivities will begin with an hour-long tour of the farm house, followed by an hour-long tour of the farm. We will meet at the Visitors Center and walk over to the farm house together. After our tours, we will “picnic” at a local restaurant. You can RSVP by emailing the region: JASNANewJersey@gmail.com
About Historic Longstreet Farm
A part of Holmdel Park, this living historical farm recreates the sights, sounds, and smells of the 1890s. Longstreet Farm’s mission is to promote an appreciation for Monmouth County farm life at the end of the 19th century, preserving historic structures and practices through interpretive programs and tours. Livestock are an important component of this mission. The farm’s livestock are raised and cared for just as they were in the past – to meet the labor, food, and material needs of the farm. Mules and horses help plow the fields and harvest crops; dairy cows, chickens and pigs provide food to eat; and sheep are raised for meat and wool.
Longstreet Farm Address: 44 Longstreet Road, Holmdel, NJ (For more information about other events at the farm and directions, click here).
