Halloween Weekend Events

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Get ready for a fun packed weekend!
If you haven't made it out to a Friday Night at the Tasting Room, October 30 is your last chance for this season.
Come out between 6-9pm and enjoy the Beatles tribute band Das Homage and Delicous Dishe Food Truck. Dress as your favorite Beatle or Yellow Submarine character. No admission fee.
It's been a great season with wonderful music & food. The community has supported our efforts and we have enjoyed meeting all the locals who have chosen Adventure Farm as their Friday destination.

          

 

If you would rather run through the haunted corn maze in the dark and get the scare of your life, come out Friday, October 30 or Saturday, October 31 to the Pole Barn Site at the Pumpkin Patch. The site is open from 6 until 9. For those of age, purchase a bottle of 100% estate grown wine and when darkness falls, venture through the corn maze. The charge is $10 per person and recommended for tweens, teens and adults. Not appropriate for young children under the age of 8.

The Pumpkin Patch will open one last day on Saturday, October 31st, Halloween, from 11-5. Come out and wander through the pumpkin patch. If you already have a pumpkin, you can still enjoy the barnyard animals, climbing hay mound, corn maze and hayride. Admission is $5 for ages 6 and older. Spend a few hours enjoying our vintage farm and relaxing with friends and family. 

                 
 

     

At both the Fright Nights and the Pumpkin Patch, our 100% estate grown wine is available for sale.

Our local beef is for sale (grass-fed, grain finished in open pastures, no antibiotics or hormones, USDA inspected and dry-aged 3 weeks). 

Last orders are being taken for Thanksgiving Turkeys.

                                      ORDER YOUR KELLY BRONZE TURKEY HERE

Day or night, satisfy your immediate appetite with Charleys' Chili. Charley's food truck serves up amazing chili made with Adventure Farm beef. If you prefer our vegetarian version, try the chili made with our own pumpkins. Hot dogs go great with either.

We hope to see you this weekend for the end of our fall festivities!

This is the most amazing turkey that I have ever eaten (besides the wild turkey my grandfather shot one year when I was a child, but that was a long, long time ago and if you shoot a wild turkey will you really hand pluck and dry age it?). If you are a foodie or value local food and heritage breeds and full, fresh flavor of real food... read on.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF A KELLY BRONZE TURKEY

-Traditional pure breed, originating in Colonial America then bred in 

Cambridge, England from 1735 

-Slow growing breed bred for its texture

-Grown to full maturity allowing for more natural fat and marbling 

and bone marrow which adds extra flavor and makes its own gravy

-Cooks twice as fast as a normal turkey

-Free-range farming, fed a natural diet without hormones or 

growth promoters

-Dry hand plucked, traditionally hung and dry aged for tenderness 

(as was done in the USA 100 years ago)

Raised in Albemarle County

A family tradition & slow farming product.

Weddings at Adventure Farm

Six years ago today, Charley and I got married on the farm. We planned the whole event, down by the lake. Locally grown flowers in handmade containers made by my mom set out on rustic farm tables. A tent and dance floor for Jim Waive and the New Divorcees. Boar's Head Balloon gave people tethered rides. Cupcakes from Crumbs in NYC. It was perfect and I am thankful!

            

             

            

 

                           

 

               

                             

                         

We've had a couple of weddings here since then and are taking reservations for future weddings. It's a joy to share the farm and provide an experience that will last in your memories for all of your days. It is wonderful to bring two families together and make a new one of your own. Cherish all your days with those you love.

Mother nature has been testing all farmers this past week. There is never a lack of excitement or adventure when your lifestyle and profession involves the land.

Sylvanaqua Farms' pigs decided to explore the farm, thinking the grass is always greener on the other side.

In spite of the crazy rain, we now have our grapes off the vines. Cabernet Sauvignon, always the last to come off and susceptible to fall hurricanes, came off today. 2015 has proved to be a roller coaster of a season, from wet to hot and dry to wet again. The season resulted in heavy production with exceptionally high quality fruit.

With excessive rain and more in the forecast, we have CANCELLED our Friday night music and food truck for October 2nd. We will have to catch up with Michael Clem & Thomas Gunn another night as well as Charley's Chili.

The Pumpkin Patch has also been CANCELLED for October 3rd & 4th. The excessive rain has prohibited our preparation and also threatens any chance of having a pleasant experience of Adventure Farm. Mark down October 10th & 11th for our official opening of the pumpkin patch season.

Even through the difficult days, there is always something bright and hopeful. Check out the new food truck which will be operated by Charley's Chili! We can't wait for him to dish up some of his delicious chili made with Adventure Farm beef. A vegetarian chili will also be on the menu, made with our own pumpkins. Satisfy your hunger at the Pumpkin Patch every Saturday and Sunday from 11-5pm, beginning October 10.
