Come and join us for a fair-themed day of food, fun, and festivities! Some of the things that will be happening include…

MOCKTAIL GARDEN
Join us in our mocktail garden for an artisanal non-alcoholic beverage, hosted by Fernwood General Store. Every beverage purchased comes with a $10 gift certificate to VI Plant Shop.

CHICKEN BINGO
Come and buy-in on a round of Chicken Bingo! Happening in our chicken and goat pen, this game is a fun and silly way to play speed round bingo. This year’s bingo board is smaller, which means more chances to win!

MINI PHOTO SESSIONS BY MEG BOORMAN PHOTOGRAPHY
Meg will be offering her very popular mini photo sessions in the afternoon between 12:30 and 2:30. There are multiple location choices on the farm, including a tractor. Each session lasts for 15 minutes and includes 3-5 digital images emailed to you for a minimum donation of $30.

ACE FOR A CAKE
This is our fourth year doing Ace for a Cake, which is facilitated by one of our long-standing Disc Golf community members. It’s an exciting and very popular part of the day – someone wins a cake each round!

VISIT FOREST CAMP
Walk the path down to Forest Camp to spend time among the trees. While you’re down there, go on a Gruffalo storywalk, have s’mores around the fire, or visit our glamping site. If you choose to visit the tipi, one of our staff members will be there to say hello and share information about the land and who we are.

MARKETPLACE
There will be lots of neat handmade things to find in our marketplace, including plant pots, buttons, stickers, cupcakes, baked goods, and more.

SILENT AUCTION
Our silent auction will have themed gift baskets, local woodworking and art. All of these items are generously donated from businesses in our community, including Lee Valley, VI Plant Shop, and more.

There will also be tons of “classic” fair happenings, including a concession with vegetarian options, face painting, balloon animals, raffle tickets, candy bags, cotton candy, and more!
