It features their wonderful Italian style wines from Wind Rose Cellars. A really nice atmosphere, great appetizers, and a superb line of wines. Rosalind and my favorite is their Dolcetto and the Hunter Red….wait, hold on here; they are ALL fabulous!

We have a wonderful new little “greeter”! Her name is Penny! Our owners Mike and Roz have fallen in love with her and she is just a “little bit” spoiled-many of you may remember our first farm dog “Gordy”-he loved each and every visitor to our farm (especially those that shared their ice cream!) Penny is super excited to meet you all-so look for her next time you visit the farm!

Rare Earth has their audiences up and out of their seats dancing and singing along with their million selling classics such as “Get Ready”, “Hey Big Brother”, “Losing You”, “Born to Wander”, and “I Just Want to Celebrate” creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the Madison Square Garden Concert in 1970, the Atlantic Pop Festival in 1971 or the California Jam which was one of their most memorable concerts broadcast nationally in 1974. This concert is being offered in conjuction with the Sequim Balloon Festival which takes place Sept. 1, 2, & 3 in field right next door to our farm!  We are super excited to be a sponsor of this event-so get your tickets now and come and CELEBRATE with us!
