Celebrate the beauty of the season this Thursday, October 17th!
Golden Hour: You can arrive any time in the late afternoon to explore the farm as it is open to the general public until 5:30. After 5:30, the farm will be open only to those participating in this event until 7 pm.
Farm Hayride: See the foliage, the vineyards, and our beautiful farm with a hayride. Hayrides leave at the top and bottom of the hour, and the last hayride of the day will be at 5:30 pm.
Sunset and Moonrise: The sun will set at 6:08 and the moon will rise at 6:10. Since the moon is a little closer to Earth at this time, the moon will appear 7% larger and brighter as it rises. Some Indigenous nations referred to this moon as the Hunter's Moon, as it was a good time to hunt before the approaching winter.
Hunter Moon Wine Toast: Starting at 5:30, wee will have a selection of our most popular seasonal wines, including our delicious, warm mulled wine. Have a glass of your favorite wine as part of your visit; additional glass of wine can be purchased. With the wine, savor our farm-made special pumpkin cranberry cookies.
Mini-Pumpkin: Take home a little mini-pumpkin to remind you of your evening - maybe a little white one to remind you for the Hun ter's Moon! Other pumpkins and squash will be available to purchase.
