When: August 5-6, 2017
Where: 585 Meeting House Road, Valley Falls, NY 12185
About: Each year for the past ten or so, more than 100 CSA members from the city come visit the farm and either camp in one of our fields or stay in a nearby B&B. We open our farm to you, as a member of our CSA, because we want you to know where your vegetables, cut flowers, eggs and some of your fruit comes from. We’d like you to have the chance to learn how your shares are grown, and who is actually performing the work.
The event takes place over two days. On Saturday, you’ll set up your tents, tour the farm, sample local beers and wines, enjoy a potluck supper (please bring a dish to pass), listen to live music, hang out around a bonfire or play board games, and gaze at the stars made possible by a dark night sky. Please BYOB.
On Sunday, we will serve you a farm breakfast comprised of the freshest eggs you’ve ever had, pancakes and other farm goodies. After breakfast, and after camp has been broken, there will be an option to tour the Davis Farm, where your eggs are produced. There are four vineyards within three miles of here and a Sunday farmers’ market to visit. There is an excellent river to swim in and beautiful, quiet roads to bike on. Please consider joining us for the weekend.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP with the number in your party to tedblomgren@gmail.com
