Giving
Starting in 2025, on the Saturday of Easter weekend, we host a one-mile Sip & Seek Walk benefiting CommUnity Crisis Services. This is a family-friendly, scenic stroll on a groomed trail across the farm, featuring Easter treats for humans and animals, a wine sample stop at the halfway point, and a festive finish in the vineyard with a celebration mimosa and live music. It’s a joyful, purposeful event that brings people together to support neighbors facing emotional, financial, or food insecurity — all while celebrating spring on the farm. Mark your calendars for next year!
