Join us for our Open House on Memorial Day Weekend
After a winters nap the farm and crew at White Feather are excited to invite you to our Open House! We will be relaunching our weekly onsite farm stand (Saturdays 9am-3pm) that offers certified organic produce, free range happy eggs, and our famous maple syrup. Come roam the grounds and meet our feathered flock (of 38 chickens + one turkey). We are also offering:
Farm Tours (two guided tours available at 12:30pm and 2:30pm) led by our Farm Manager, Dallas McCann.
Live Blue Grass Music (12:30pm & 1:30pm) by Conor Wenk, a cross genre, multi instrumentalist and luthier based out of Woodstock NY. He builds custom instruments by hand, weaving them together as a one man band in a way that has to be seen to be believed. With influences like Bela Fleck, Chris Thile, Doc Watson and Alison Krauss, Conor provides an authentic bluegrass experience in this unmissable one man performance.
Flower Therapy Table (1:00pm-2:00pm) Bring your gardening qualms, questions, and queries to address with long time Passionate Plant Maven (& staff member), Kris Garnier. She’s happy to help tackle problems you may be having with your home garden, flowerbed, or house plants. Photos of your plant issues are encouraged!
Biochar + Charcoal Making Demo (1pm-2pm) with Bill Hilgendorf + Muriel Stallworth. Explore how to make your own charcoal sticks with the pyrolysis technique using fallen willow sticks from the farm. Learn about fighting climate change by disrupting the carbon cycle through carbon sequestration and create charcoal artworks on the spot!
Ladybug Safari (2pm-3pm) In Search of the Nine-Spotted Ladybug. Did you know that ladybugs can come with up to 13 spots, and in all shades of red? One beautiful deep red ladybug with nine spots once was the most common in the North-East, but is now extremely rare. Join us on a photo-safari to document all ladybugs that we can find on the farm!
The Ground Up Food Truck will be onsite with food and refreshments available for purchase.
This is a family friendly event :)
Tickets are free to reserve, Farm Tour space is limited.
