All weekend programming has been cancelled
The Farm store will be open 10am-1pm on Saturday, Closed Sunday
Run for Amy has been rescheduled to Sunday, October 4th

Please allow our team time after the wind dies down to assess our trails and check for fallen limbs and general safety. We will update our social media if we have to temporarily close any trails for cleanup on Monday!

Stay hunkered down everyone- and stock up on the good fresh baked stuff at the store in anticipation!

We know that for a lot of you it's back to school week and a holiday weekend and the end of summer and everyone is just trying to survive the adjustment. BUT nothing helps give kids and grown ups alike a solid mental refresh like a day spent outdoors at a giant farm festival. For the kids- crafts, meet the machines, outdoor games, barnyard animals and the fresh air that makes them sleep so well at night. For adults- live music, local b**r, wood-fired pizza and if you're a parent, some exhausted kids who just ran outside for a few hours. This is all happening on September 19th and 20th at our Annual Farm Days festival. So make sure you're there!

Advanced ticket purchase required.
