SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23

Join us for a unique farm workshop showcasing wool that was sheared from our own Gibbet Hill sheep. 2D needle felting is process of applying carded wool onto fabric to create a piece of art, ‘painting with wool’.

In this workshop, participants will work with raw wool to learn the steps involved in processing the wool so that it is suitable for needle felting. Afterwards, participants will create a ‘painting’ with the carded wool. All supplies will be provided.

For ages 12 and over, however due to the sharpness of the needles used in the felting process, we request that children be supervised by an adult.

Price per person includes a thoughtfully prepared, snack box of crudite, dips, and breads.

Gibbet Hill Farm Dinners

Gibbet Hill Farm Dinners are back for 2021!   We bring the fork to the farm. Farm dinners will be conducted on the farm, on one long table, right alongside our crops.

Tickets are now on sale for the following dates: July 7, July 21, August 4, and August 18.

MENU

Our chef will start planning the menu just a day or so ahead of time, after determining which vegetables and fruits are ready for harvest. Due to the nature of this type of menu planning, we may not have a finalized menu until the day of the dinner. We can accommodate allergies, but with the style of this dinner, we will not know the modifications in advance. This dinner is an adventure and will primarily showcase items coming off our farm. Dinner will be four courses (three courses, in a combination of family style and plated, plus cocktail hour tastes.) Beverages will be provided and will include beer, wine and soft drinks.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

Seats are very limited for this event, as we will only be hosting up to 40 guests per dinner at our long farm table. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes, as this dinner will be held on the farm grounds. (Assistance will be provided for anyone unable to navigate the dirt road to the farm tables.) Guests will be invited to tour the farm and maybe even harvest some of the evening’s dinner!

FINE PRINT

Tickets are non refundable after July 19. The dinners will be held rain or shine. Should the weather be inclement, we will hold the event in the greenhouse or at The Barn at Gibbet Hill.The cost per person is $150 and includes four course meal, all beverages, tax, and gratuity.
