The Farmer’s House – Fall Feast

The Farmer’s House annual Fall Feast hosted two fantastic events: A Farm Party and a Barn Party. Partygoers enjoyed the rustic charm of each affair, complete with signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a delicious farm-to-table meal, live music, and silent and live auctions. Proceeds raised funds for programming to develop job skills, expand social networks, and increase independence for youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
