About the Hoes Down Harvest Festival

Over 30 years ago, the Hoes Down Harvest Festival was started to bring people out to the country and deepen their connection with food and land.

Today, Hoes Down is a festival fundraiser focused on educating people first-hand about the positive impacts of farming. At Hoes Down, guests experience activities like pruning trees, milking a cow, making compost and seasonal cooking. They eat local organic food and dance to the tunes of bluegrass and contra dance with one another. Attendees camp under the stars in our walnut orchard and wake up to a farm fresh breakfast.

We invite you to join us in celebrating farming and rural living with your two feet in the soil!
