Pickin’ Time: Bluegrass, Brews, & Bites
A summertime series celebrating good food, music, community and the joy of picking-your-own
We're back with our popular Pickin' Time: Bluegrass, Brews & Bites event series! We'll be celebrating the best of what each season has to offer, from the Summer Solstice in June to the Fall Equinox in September. Each event will pair live music with delicious farm-made food & drinks, adult beverages for purchase, and after-hours access to Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center’s organic pick-your-own (PYO) fields and farmstand.
These community gatherings are designed for all ages and are a great way to enjoy summer evenings on the farm—surrounded by friends, and the beauty of Vermont’s working landscape.
Held at our Farm Common adjacent to the Farmstand. Parking in the overflow lot beyond the Farmstand.
