Annual Harvest Festival (Ticketed)
Summer is well underway, and our favorite crops are flourishing in the fields, the chickens and pigs are getting fat and the orchards are bursting with fruit!
We are eagerly planning for the fall bounty and hope you’ll join us for our first annual Harvest Festival in 2024.
Harvest Festival features rolling behind-the-scenes Hay-Wagon tours of our fully Regenerative farm with meanders through the pastures to see cows and chickens doing their thing, pigs rooting in the forest, bees buzzing in the orchards, wine from our favorite Pennsylvania wineries, and beer from our favorite local brewer, not to mention farm-made spirits, cooking, and innovation spaces.
The festival concludes with a long-table sit-down dinner on Hobbit HIll overlooking the heart of Ridgmeade farm - our organic pastures.
