Join us for a Dia De Los Muertos celebration!
Enjoy an evening of delicious farm fresh food and drink as we observe a multi-day holiday that involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have passed. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed. We will be building an altar to include your contributions.
These are some things you might like to consider bringing out to the farm to share in our community celebration of those who we have lost:
Framed photographs of your ancestors
Plants and flowers (especially if the altar intends to reflect and celebrate the changing seasons)
Food offerings, like favorite foods of loved ones, fruits, or a small dish of rice and grains
Crystals and stones
Other natural and found objects like shells, stones, and feathers
Remember, this is not a time to mourn. It is a time to celebrate the life of your departed loved one in a positive and spiritual way. Did Grandpa enjoy chocolate chip cookies when he was alive? Place his favorite cookies on the altar along with other objects that remind you of his life and be grateful and thankful for his contribution to your life.
Let’s celebrate our loved one's lives with a Dia De Los Muertos evening of friends, family and food. Activities will also include face painting, pumpkin carving, and free ranging fun.
Please note, entry is $1 for anyone over the age of 12.
All students are free for this event!
Members of the Exeter High School Spanish Honors Society will be at the farm to showcase their knowledge of Día de los Muertos and run a variety of kid activities that celebrate learning, language and culture.
THURSDAYS AT THE FARM
First come, first served. No reservations. Community seating (seat yourself where you choose), any and all are welcome to sit at the fire pits, picnic tables, bar, and the side field. This is an awesome, family friendly place to eat and enjoy the farm!
In addition to Vernon Kitchen’s menu, non-alcoholic beverages and desserts are available in the farm store. Make it easier for yourself, your kids, and your family…buy a $10-$25 gift card and avoid the hassle of meeting card minimums! If your kids need another drink, give them the card and off to the store they go!
