We are still basking in the sparkle and flow of an incredible 24th annual Mountain Harvest Festival!✨

We are so grateful for every single one of you that came out, volunteered, hosted farm tours and wine tastings, sponsored the fest, vended, performed, made chili, baked pies, and danced the night away with us. It was such a sweet celebration full of laughter, smiles, and POLLINATORS.

Everyone was in such high spirits and brought their best to the fest; there was barely even any trash to pick up! We have heard from so many folks that this was the best Mountain Harvest Fest yet and that warms our hearts beyond measure. ❤️‍🔥

Please mark your calendars for the last weekend in September 2026; we would love to have you again!
