• 6pm - PESTO FESTO: our 16th annual end-of-season celebration and fundraiser.  We'll be serving farm-fresh pesto pasta and salad (using Sweetwater's organic veggies of course), beverages and desserts for your culinary delight.  We'll also have wine tastings, a silent auction (bring your checkbooks!), and one of our favorite bands, the URBAN GYPSIES to liven up the night.
  
  Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at the farm this Thursday, May 8th from 12-6pm.  Prices are $17 adv/$20 door, ages 6-12 $4 adv/$5 door, under 6 is free.

  • ABC Liquor Store - Please park behind the ABC Liquor Store on Hillsborough Ave. From there, you can walk to our rear entrance on Mohawk Ave.

  We ask everyone to please respect our neighbors by following our signs and not parking near our front entrance on Comanche Ave. All are Welcome - Join the Party!
