Join us for an evening of gratitude and celebration as we officially
open the doors to our new Farm Store and Classroom.
This milestone represents more than just a new building—
it's the culmination of community support, shared vision,
and a commitment to connecting people with the land, animals,
and craft of farmstead cheesemaking.
This relaxed, open-house style celebration invites you to explore
the new space at your own pace. Arrive anytime during the evening
and stay as long as you wish. Whether you're a longtime supporter or
discovering Prairie Fruits Farm for the first time, this event offers
a meaningful opportunity to experience what we've built
together and envision what's ahead.
