What happened with the fire?

On Monday, August 22 at 12:40 PM we had a horrific fire due to an accident during a propane delivery. Thankfully, all our employees, family and animals are safe. The explosions and fire destroyed our two major buildings in the midway, including our Farm Market and Ice Cream/Panini Shoppe, and damaged six others. The Tap Room is still intact. 

Since the fire, we have rebuilt new retail bakery/beverage barn building that will be open during festivals. We will also be building a new covered pavilion area (where the Farm Market once was) that will include a stage and seating for 150 people, which should be completed by the end of July 2023. There are plans to build a new main stage with a covered seating area in the main field. Stay tuned for details!
