â¶Everybody loves the reindeer. Itâs not just the kids,â³ says Jessica Devine, who handles community relations for Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough.
Three years ago, staff and volunteers at the farm placed fanciful log-and-twig reindeer along the propertyâs walking trails. The â¶wildlifeâ³ were such a hit that the herd has come back for an encore every year since. This season, theyâre sticking around through January 2021.
