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.

The evening includes:
  • Culinary Experience: Enjoy cheese and charcuterie boards featuring our award-winning farmstead cheeses, plated appetizers prepared by our culinary team, assorted desserts, and farm-fresh gelato.

  • Live Music: Acoustic performances creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the evening.

  • Guided Tours: Staff-led tours of the new Farm Store and Classroom space, with insights into the design, purpose, and programming planned for 2026.

  • Meet the Herd: Opportunities to visit with our goats and capture memories at our photo booth.

  • Cheese Sampling Station: Taste a selection of our seasonal cheeses with guidance from our creamery team.

  • Education Preview: Learn about upcoming workshops, classes, and events planned for the new classroom space.

  • Beverages: Complimentary non-alcoholic drinks; cash bar available for wine, beer, and cocktails.

  • Gratitude Remarks: Brief welcome and thank you from farm owners Lauren and Jeffrey Brokish.

  • Take-Home Gift: Each guest receives a curated goodie bag as a token of appreciation.
