🍅 Some weekends are made for slowing down.
Tomato Fest runs August 29–30, and while there's plenty to do, there's no rush to do it all. Come for an afternoon, stay for the day, or plan a whole weekend around it.
Start Saturday morning with a Goat Hike at 9:30am, a mile through pasture and pond with the herd, cheese sample included. From there, wander over to our tomato market stand for fruit picked fresh, or browse the Farm Store for tomato and garden themed finds, gelato, grab and go tomato sandwiches, and our seasonal Tomato Chèvre, made right here in the creamery.
From 10am to 2pm, Clay Glazik from Silver Tree Beer & Spirits sets up at the bar cart with Bloody Marys in three styles, Caprese, BLT, and Caprae Classic. In the Orchard room sign up for Embroidery Beginner class, 9am-11am.
On Sunday, Chef Peter Glatz leads food demos at 11am and 1pm, with tomatoes to taste throughout. If you'd rather spend your afternoon with the goats, our afternoon goat hike starts at 1:30pm. If you feel the need to be creative, we are hosting Luscious Leaves in the Orchard room with a Build Your Own Terrarium workshop, 2-4pm.
Both days, Caprae Restaurant at Prairie Fruits Farm serves a tomato forward menu, tomato toast, crab salad, and herb crusted mahi mahi for dinner, pork belly BLT and shakshuka for brunch. Reservations are open now.
Free to attend, kids activities and yard games under the windmill both days. Come spend the weekend with us.
