Five local farms have come together to host the 3^rd Annual Fall Farm Hop event to highlight the diverse, local agricultural offerings available right in your own backyard. Fall Farm Hop encourages the community to visit or “hop” to each of the five participating farms on September 24^th from 11AM – 4PM to explore the farms, meet the farmers, learn about the wide range of agricultural products and services they offer, and most importantly have a day filled with fall farm fun!  Participants can pick up a “passport” at any of the participating farms to have punched as they visit each farm throughout the day. Turn in the passport at the last farm they visit to be entered to win prizes donated by each farm.

The event was developed by Wells Farms Premium Beef owner, Sarah Wells.  “Early in 2021, I was reflecting on what a year 2020 had been, I started thinking about all of the unique, small, family farms around us that helped keep our communities going with food, flowers, and an escape from the confines of their own four walls throughout the pandemic.  We are really lucky to live in an area that is so rooted in agriculture and that offers so much diversity in products and services in a small geographical area.”  So, Sarah reached out to fellow farm owners and operators and asked if they would be interested in hosting an event to showcase this diversity to our community and the Fall Farm Hop was born.

The five farms you will visit during the September 24^th event are; Burr Oak Gardens, Rio; Creek Bed Farmacy, Poynette; Lapacek’s Orchard, Poynette; Sassy Cow Creamery, Columbus; and Wells Farms Premium Beef, Rio. Each farm will be participating in different ways – some will be offering interactive activities, food, live music, unique shopping experiences, and more.

“We look forward to partnering with all of our neighboring farms each Fall for the annual Farm Hop.  It gives us the opportunity to see familiar faces and greet new visitors and show them all of the great farm products and events we have to offer in our local community,” says Julie Schoeneberg of Creek Bed Farmacy.
