Regenerative Farm Tour

An afternoon of learning and fun will start with an immersive soil health talk and regenerative farm tour. You will traverse the pastures to meet the cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens of Medicine Creek Farm while learning about rotational grazing practices, beneficial microbes, carbon sequestration, and livestock guardian dogs.

Farmers Market & Cocktail Hour

Following the tour we'll have a farmers market featuring the wares and products of local farmers such as beeswax candles, tallow lotions, herb salts and teas, wool crafts, apple cider, produce, and cottage foods. Grab a cocktail featuring locally sourced beverages while enjoying the bucolic scenery. Kids activities and games will keep the little ones busy while you chat with area farmers and shop for goods.

Butcher's Dinner

Settle into a rustic dinner featuring pulled pork, barbecued lamb, farmstead brick oven bread, cheese and Jersey-cow butter, herbaceous condiments, and organic salads and sides. Prepared in collaboration with Y-ker Acres butcher Brian Merkel and Baptism River Barbecue Co with locally-sourced ingredients. A cash bar with full drink service will feature drinks and wine from local and natural producers with non-alcoholic options available.

Barn Dance

Following dinner, the hayloft will be hopping with the two-stepping sounds of classic country band Heartbreak Affair as we revive the tradition of the old-fashioned barn dance. A cash bar will be available throughout the dance.
