Listen, sing along, and dance to music by local musician Lior Ben-Hur, who performs original global music to remind us to always welcome the stranger into our sukkah on this special holiday.

All are welcome.

Join us on the farm for a joyous Sukkot celebration and all-ages day of play!
Adults - Sukkot is a time for joy and nourishment. We invite you to take our adult-only mini workshops and, if you have kids, drop them off with our farm educators. They will build their own sukkot (temporary shelters), cook farm-to table-meals, and explore/work in our garden in age-appropriate ways.
