Ploughshare Farm hosts two farm festivals annually.

Our farm festivals are the best way to come out and experience the farm first hand.  Kids and family members are all welcome during these days.

Camping is available here at the farm for these events.  We also sometimes (depending on how many interns we have at the time) have 4 rooms with beds available in our Yurt style tent.  If you have no interest in getting your hands dirty, come anyway and enjoy the music and the fellowship.  The best way to help make this event a success is to just show up. This event is open to the public so please help spread the word (i.e.—friends, neighbors, church bulletins, and local news) Also, folks coming from the cities may want to carpool up to save on fuel

Pea Pick

Our annual Pea Pick and potlcuk will be held in late June.  Come pick and snack on peas and enjoy the beauty of spring on your farm.   This event will start around 11 am and go until 3pm.

 Fall Harvest Festival

This is a full day event. Early on in the day there will be a work party. In previous years, members have worked together to help take up mulch, plant garlic, and put the fields to bed for the winter.  There will be a potluck lunch served for the hungry workers throughout the day (everyone who comes is encouraged to bring a dish to share and we will also have a large pot of stew or chili available).

  Then from 4pm-6pm there will be live music presented by the Beguine Bros. Made up of members of the Urban Hillbilly Quartet, the Whistlepigs and House of Mercy Band, this group is all about having fun.  There will be harmonicas, accordions, guitars, basses, drums, washboards and mandolins—all twanging away into the evening.  Lots of Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and countless other country tunes. Tips will be appreciated. Please RSVP gjbrever@midwestinfo.net
