Photos: Fourth-Annual Agricultural Fair at the Loring-Greenough House

By |

For the past four years, Bill Perkins of Agricultural Hall, 245 Amory St. at the Brewery complex, has hosted an old-fashioned New England agricultural fair in Jamaica Plain. The last three have been held on the grounds of the Loring-Greenough House - itself originally the hub of an 80-acre farm - and were co-sponsored by the Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club. The Jamaica Plain News wandered over on a beautiful crisp fall Sunday morning to see what the harvest was like.
