Then there's the design-your-own-scarecrow contest and, for the little ones, a chance to interact with friendly farm animals and partake in trick-or-treating.

Proceeds will support a local butchery business looking to expand.

"I'm getting all the necessary licenses approved to run the first red meat custom mobile in Massachusetts legally," Mary Tripp said. "I aim to build a custom unit equipped to dispatch, cut and wrap the carcass on site."

Mary's been a butcher for several years, inspired by her grandfather.

"It's truly my life’s passion," she said. "There's a big need, especially now, to help the homestead/farmstead community understand the full process in which these animals are raised."
