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 April 17th for our next work day and barn dance. We hope to be planting a few varieties of potatoes, including Yukon Gold, Pink Pearl, Kennebec, All Blue, Purple Majesty, Yellow Finn, and Red Lasoda, that’s if the weather cooperates. We will also be tending our strawberries, garlic, and caneberries as well as weeding the beneficial hedgerow.

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!)

Important info:

• Please leave dogs at home.
• Be careful turning into Pie Ranch.
• Park at the Roadside Barn or in the field directly behind the roadside barn. PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE UP TO THE UPPER SLICE.
• Bring water bottles, clothing layers, 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.
