Events




2009 Farm and Folklore Program
Calendar of Events

 Our autumn events are exuberant and remarkable. Each one is filled
with spirit and personality - and offers a delightful setting and a delicious
hand made lunch created with our farm products.

Imagine sitting amid clouds of hydrangea at our Hydrangea Luncheons- or being able to taste and learn about apple varieties old and new at our Apple Connoisseur's Luncheon -
or basking in the glow of autumn at our Fall Foliage Luncheon -
or learning about, and tasting, the delicious gatherings from meadow and
woodland at our Foraging From the Farm Luncheon.
Each luncheon is an adventure, an exploration and a sharing of
beauty and taste from our farm!


Participation in our programs is by prepaid, non-refundable reservation.
Reservations are made by calling our market at 585-638-8838.
