We are ecstatic to welcome you to the farm on September 20. This is a unique opportunity to meet the people who grow your food: beef, chicken, pork, produce, sauerkraut, milk, eggs, bread, and more.
Our focus is CONNECTION: from the farmers and the food they raise to Vintage Meadows and our awesome crew to our pickup location hosts and customers.
Through this event, we will celebrate our community and local food, highlight our vendors, recognize TEN YEARS of the Vintage Meadows buying club, and infuse our vision and values into every second.
