Come out for an evening of stargazing!
We love sharing the dark countryside of the farm with our city friends who have trouble seeing the full sky. Come make some new friends & enjoy the evening.
The Wednesday night will be the height of the Perseids Meteor Shower. Come early to set up your telescope or bring binoculars for better viewing. Last year we had a cozy group and one year we counted over 43 meteors! (32 last year)
Lavender will be sparse, but you are welcome to place blankets in the field & gaze above.
Bill King will provide guidance & point out constellations during the Saturday session. He does an easy to learn presentation using a laser pointer to help you see the stars. The Wednesday session will be the height of the Perseids shower and we are hoping for a spectacular show.
Please bring lawn chairs. Wear long sleeves/pants due to possible mosquitoes. We recommend bringing a blanket to snuggle up in. Just in case, we have created mosquito free areas with our canopy frames and draped them with netting. They worked very well during our yoga event, and you have a clear view out of the top to see the stars. Last year, they were not needed and the bugs have been less this season, but we will have them ready if needed.
No purchase required. This is a free event, but donations are appreciated. Please click below to RSVP on our calendar event to complete a required waiver. There are limited slots for the screened in areas, so be sure to reserve your itch free spot by registering early (first come, first served). Farm shop will be open. Sample some lavender tea & pastries will be available for purchase.
*This is a limited light event so please be mindful of others to not hinder the dark sky we are looking forward to seeing.
