Last year we amplified our annual Open House to include more fun, food and music than previously known. We even changed the name! This year, Food + Farm Day will take place on Saturday, July 16, followed by our first-ever Burger Night as the July Farm Dinner. Join us for daytime festivities, with the option to stay that evening for an al fresco meal. Longtime Glynwood CSA member Shelley Boris, Creative Director and Executive Chef of Fresh Company, is our guest chef.
What to expect at Food + Farm Day will be revealed over the coming weeks. We guarantee a fun, communal day of activities for the whole family that demonstrate, first-hand, regenerative agriculture and our work on behalf of the Hudson Valley's regional food system.
Tickets are $10 for adults; $5 for children 5-12; free for children under 5. Separate tickets are required for Burger Night. |
Volunteer Dirt Days
Assist our vegetable team with the necessary maintenance of our crops, while gaining hands-on experience. Anyone and everyone is welcome! Our first event of the season, "Weed Wars," has been rescheduled to Sunday, June 12, at 1:00 pm. Vegetable Production Manager Jarret Nelson will provide a quick introduction to the labor-intensive techniques that are particular to controlling weeds in an organic system.
Additional Dirt Days are scheduled for July 17, September 25 and October 10. For more information, contact Jarret directly. |
