Our MVP Committee is currently developing a variety of engaging programs and social gatherings for the off-season. These activities will take place on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month from November through May. Members will receive regular updates as offerings are finalized. 

From June through October, Homesteads for Hope hosts our popular Thursdays at the Farm series. During the off-season, we shift our focus to smaller community programs and gatherings, giving members additional opportunities to stay connected throughout the year. We hope you’ll join us for both!

Farm Fridays -

Starting May 8th, Fridays at the farm become something truly special-blending hands-on work, community connection, and relaxed afternoon activities.

• Morning (optional) (9:30AM–12PM): Spend time outdoors alongside staff and volunteers helping with seasonal farm work- planting, tending, and connecting with the land.

• Social Lunch: We gather midday to eat, relax, and enjoy time together as a community.

• Afternoon (1:00–3:30PM): Recreation Fridays

Choose your own pace:

• Game Club (Uno, Yahtzee, Cornhole, and more)

• Leisure Fishing Club

• Weekly Feature Club: Changes weekly, limited spaces. Pre-registration required. Example rotating feature clubs, photography, art, nature, etc.

After our clubs, members are welcome to stay, continue fishing, relax on the grounds, and enjoy the farm until the store closes at 6PM.
