Community Potluck & Bonfire, April 26, 6-9 pm

When:

Apr 26 2025 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Come on over, experience spring on the farm and join in a community potluck. Friends, neighbors, volunteers, and farm-curious folks are all welcome to come get to know the folks and the land. Every month is different, but it's always a good time!

During our spring cleaning we unearthed a lot of old wood from various projects, so we're going to end the evening with a big bonfire to selebrate spring and the coming of May Day/Beltane. You are invited to bring songs and stories to share around the fire.
