Join Us for our 25th Anniversary Barn Warmer!
We’re celebrating 25 years of farming, learning, and building community through agriculture—and we want to celebrate with you! After the Fairview Christmas Parade, head to the farm for an afternoon of food, music, and holiday cheer. The event is free and open to the public.
• Bonfire, hot cider, live music, good food, and carol singing
• Santa will visit to meet the kids
• Farmer Graham on piano for sing-alongs & holiday tunes
• We'll sing to the animals in pasture
We’ll also be collecting donations in a can drive for Western Carolina Rescue Mission, a local force for kindness and support for more than 40 years. Everyone deserves to eat—bring a can, if you can!
Come celebrate 25 years of hard work, cherished traditions, and the community that makes it all possible.
