What is Hemp Harvest fest?
Join us for our biggest event of the year — a one-of-a-kind celebration of hemp, harvest, and community. Your ticket gives you all-day access to hands-on farm activities, workshops, live entertainment, and a farm-to-table country supper prepared by our friends at Porkie’s Slow Roasted Comfort Food.
This isn’t just a festival — it’s an immersive, interactive day where you get to be part of the harvest. Bring the kids, grandparents, Aunt Kathy, Uncle George, and anyone else ready for a day of fresh air, great food, and unforgettable memories.

Your ticket covers full participation in all scheduled activities from 10 AM to 10 PM, including:
Hands-On Hemp Harvesting (10am-5pm):
Work alongside our team in the fields. Bring your work boots, gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt to dig into our hemp leaf harvesting. Or just sit back and watch how it’s done. We will be harvesting for two preparations, one for the farm and the other for your own take-home preparation.
Harvest hemp leaves for pressing juice: This year we grew hemp specifically for hemp leaf juicing. We are one of the first hemp farms in the USA to grow hemp exclusively for juice. Join us in this our first annual juice harvest. Join in or simply watch as we harvest leaves, wash them, and cold press the leaves for juice. You can take your freshly juiced hemp over to our cash Botanical Boba Bar and have our Boba Barista prepare you a delicious drink. Hemp Leaf Matcha is one of our most popular Boba preparations.
Harvest hemp leaves for tincture preparation: This is an opportunity to engage in leaf harvest to prepare YOUR OWN topical tincture. Hemp leaves soaked in alcohol is a traditional Mexican topical remedy for joint and muscle pain. Come prepared by bringing your own mason jar filled with alcohol. Pick as many leaves as you would like to fill your jar or take home leaves for your own at home preparation.

This is a facilitated drum circle with NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. The relaxation and rejuvenation generated by the rhythmic beats will be undeniable. Join us or simply watch as the rhythm takes on a life of its own. We guarantee you won’t be able to watch long before the irresistible urge to bang on something takes over.
Bonfire & Marshmallow Roasting (7-10pm): Shortly after sunset we will light a fire behind the barn and set out marshmallows for toasting. Nothing like a bonfire under the stars. Chairs will be provided, but it’s always a good idea to bring your own comfy folding and/or lounge chair.
After Hours Tokes (9pm-10pm): Send the kids home & stay for a Flower Club Smoke Sesh by the bonfire. We will be rolling out and sharing new strains and special pre-roll blends. What an awesome way to end the night. Make sure you have a designated driver and/or bring your sleeping bag and tent for camping. We will also have sober drivers available for anyone that needs them. Safe, effective, and pleasant relaxation is always our goal.
