Pickin’ Time: Bluegrass, Brews, & Bites
A summertime series celebrating good food, music, community and the joy of picking-your-own
We’ve reimagined our popular Bluegrass, Brews & Bites as a seasonal event series to celebrate the best of what each harvest 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 the Farmstand for the first hour of each event!
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.
