November 21st Work Day & Barn Dance

No Comments since November 10th, 2009

On the third Saturday of each month, Pie Ranch hosts a Community Work Day, potluck dinner, and rollicking barn dance in the roadside barn. All are welcome; come lend a hand in the fields while you work alongside other volunteers and farmers. Celebrate the spirit of community at this monthly ritual of working together on the ranch, sharing locally grown food, and then spinning, laughing and dosey-doing together into the night.

Join us on Saturday, November 21st for this month’s work day and barn dance. Even though the fields are all put to rest for the season, there is still much fun farm work to be done.  At this month’s work party we’ll compost the perennial fruit trees and cane berries and braid and string up popcorn to dry for the coming year.

The work party starts at 2 pm.
Then join in the potluck at 6pm
and dancing at 7pm until about 10pm.

The dance is $7-20 (sliding scale) to compensate the band, ranch, and caller.
(Children under 12 free; workday participants pay a discounted rate of $5-15,
so come on down and hoe before you hoe down!)

We’ll also offer a guided tour of Pie Ranch, leaving from the Upper Slice at 3:00 pm.$5 – pay at the roadside barn farmstand and get directions to the Upper Slice.

Important info:

  • Please leave dogs at home.
  • Be careful turning into Pie Ranch.
  • Park at the Roadside Barn and stop in for pie and directions to the work day. You can also park in the field behind the roadside barn. PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE UP TO THE UPPER SLICE.
  • Bring water bottles, sunscreen, closed toe shoes, and sunhats.
  • Bring work gloves, tools, and enthusiasm! (We have gloves and tools for you to use too).
  • Please bring your own dishes and utensils for the potluck. Every bit of clean up help is greatly appreciated!
  • To keep an inclusive, family atmosphere, the potluck and barn dance are alcohol-free events.
