Farmhouse Sabbath is the primary expression that defines our life together
In a culture of being busy, we take time to cease & be present with one another. For a few hours we practice, embody, engage in, & experience the potential of community by participating in food, drink, art, music, economy, & relationships in a particular way that alters how we live individually and as a place.

What to Expect at Farmhouse Sabbath:
We gather together once a month in a barn in the middle of nowhere to rest & party…
…because barn parties can change the world.
Expect a public, communal space with food & drink, art & music, vendors & tables full of conversation like a 21st century version of the tribal campfire. We are hoping that these events inspire us to live in proper relationship to all parts of our place.
*Food & Drink
As with everything at The Farmhouse (especially Farmhouse Sabbath), we practice Place Economy. But we are particularly concerned about food.
Local chefs takeover our kitchen making gourmet pub & street food that is from our place and sustains our place. Alongside the food are crafted sodas & other specialty drinks. Everything is organic, local, natural, & homemade as much as possible.
The most important part, however, is what happens when folks enjoy this food & drink at the table together.
*MARKET
When possible, we try to have a variety of local vendors can be spotted during a Farmhouse Sabbath.
We attempt to give access to local entrepreneurs to sustain their work for our place by providing an opportunity to sell directly to the community & giving access to those gathered to support, participate in, and practice “Place Economy” through their purchasing power.
Our Evergreen Food Co-Op & Market is also available during Farmhouse Sabbath.
*MUSIC, ART, & ENTERTAINMENT
That is formative for those present & encourages growth and progress while supporting groups that embody our values.
We yearn to have real, authentic music & art by promoting the local artists who have something beautiful to say.
Music typically begins around 7:00pm if music is scheduled for that month. Always be prepared for an open bluegrass jam to breakout.
*The Art of Neighborliness
Our barn parties are all about taking the time to invite people into the story we are telling & promoting the sharing of stories amongst neighbors in a way that furthers relationships with those present & invites those present further into their own story.
