Thank you, Liz Martin, for sharing one of many wonderful memories of Dr. Doug Ayers ...

"Doug and I shared a mutual love of our region's history, and we talked about it often. His crown and glory was the farm and our region's rich agricultural history. I still think of him often and miss our many wonderful conversations and his infinite wisdom."

Join us on Saturday, October 10, as we celebrate 20 years as a non-profit educational dairy farm. Enjoy incredible food and fellowship while honoring the life and legacy of our Visionary and Founder, Dr. Doug Ayers.

For 20 years, The Lands at Hillside Farms has been more than a farm. It has been a classroom, a gathering place, a sanctuary, and a source of hope for thousands of children and families throughout our region.

On Saturday, October 10, we invite you to celebrate that legacy inside our beautiful historic Museum Barn.Your ticket is more than admission to an evening of exceptional local food, music, and community. It is an investment in the future of a nonprofit farm where children discover nature for the first time, students learn where their food comes from, and vulnerable youth experience the healing power of agriculture, animals, and the outdoors.

Every ticket purchased helps sustain the educational mission that has made Hillside Farms such a special place for generations.If Hillside has ever touched your life—or if you believe future generations deserve the same opportunity—we hope you'll join us.Together, let's celebrate 20 years of impact... and help write the next chapter.
