We are sad to share the passing of our beloved Sophie Matuch, just short of 101 years old. Please take a moment to remember her. The Farm meant so much to Sophie. She was even at the opening in 1939. We will miss her.

Now that end of the season has commenced, we wanted to say Thank You to every one who follows, shares, and liked our page. Feel free to send over any nostalgia of the farm you may have. The page could be a great place to share your best memories or pics! We will continue to bring regular content on these amazing events.

What an incredible year of entertainment! The year started with our 4th Annual SNPJ Music and Craft Festival. 16 bands, and over 40+ crafters! Around 1,000 people in and out throughout the day.

Please mark your calendars, and join us for the 5th Annual Music Festival, on May 17th, 2025!

We lastly wanted to give major shout outs to our Board Members! President Greg Volpe for his constant support and dedication to the Farm! Don Srnick for his relentless efforts in making sure the farm is always improving! Also Sue Srnick, for keeping the board in good standing! Jodi Preseren for keeping all of our tenants and events running smoothly. Last but never least, Gerri Trebets for busting her butt to make the kitchen rock and roll every weekend…of course, there are many more areas these members involve themselves in. And a very grateful, and major thank you for continuing to make this place as special as it is.

For now, our first snow fall, and “Nasvidenje!”
