If you're lucky enough to have good channery silt loam gardens and fields, have a fossil hunt. Young people can keep any fossils they find, but every rock they examine has to be transported to the rock pile, not just dumped back into the garden. They can also select rocks for rock painting.

Laying compost and mulch onto raised beds in preparation for winter? Make it into a relay race with teams and ribbons as prizes.

If allowing visitors to interact with animals make sure beforehand that your insurance coverage covers you. I took a "petting zoo" rider, which cost only an additional $30 per year.

Acorn squash roasts just like the potatoes described in another post. A big pot of bean soup over an outside fire and a late-season salad will demonstrate a yummy and complete vegetarian meal. Check with health department regulations before serving any food, though.
