TBF 032 :: A Crooked Gap Farm Class, The Farm Crawl Recap, and a Hard Lesson Learned


With the Farm Crawl behind us for this year we are very excited to announce our new farm event coming up on Saturday, November 2nd 2013 called "Crooked Gap Farm :: How Do They Do That?" Hosting an event like this is something that we have wanted to do for a long time, but no we finally feel that we are at a place in our farming lives that we have some great information to share and a lot to talk about on our farm. If you have ever wanted an in-depth tour of the farm, the chance to ask detailed questions about our farm enterprises, or wanted to see up close how various things on the farm work then this is the perfect event for you. This event will give you a "peek behind the curtain" at Crooked Gap Farm and we will take time to answer as many of your questions as we can to the best of our abilities. Check out all of the details below ...


Cost :: $65 ages 13 and up ... $20 ages 4-12 ... age 3 and under Free

What Will the Day Look Like?
  • 9:00 Am until Noon -- Intensive farm tour of each of our enterprises
  • Noon until 1:00 PM -- A Crooked Gap Farm lunch featuring our woodlot raised Hereford pork

  • 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM -- Your chance to ask that question that you've been dying to ask, or we can even head back out to the pastures and take a little closer look at certain things
