Hoes Down Festival

Come to the Hoes Down
The next Hoes Down Festival will be on Saturday & Sunday, October 4 & 5, 2008.

This all-day celebration of the harvest season offers a unique opportunity to enjoy rural life on an organic family farm, with educational tours, workshops, hayrides and an abundance of food and music.

The Hoes Down has been featured in National Geographic magazine. The Children's Area has been described as “the best in the state.”

There's something for everyone in the family at the Hoes Down. Kids have their own area with arts and crafts, nature walks, storytelling, games, a petting zoo, hay rides, and terrific contests. Other all ages activities include hands-on workshops, craft booths, farmers' market, farm tours, dancing, and much more.
