Cherry Grove Farm is excited to host the third annual Great Cow Parade on November 5th, 2016 from 1pm-7pm at Cherry Grove Farm (3200 Lawrenceville Rd, Lawrence Township, NJ). This annual celebration symbolizes another great year of harvest and production on the farm.
Cherry Grove Farm Marketing Manager Kathy Simon says, “Come for the music and food, but stay for the cows!”
For $10 per carload, visitors of all ages can spend the day enjoying live music, good food, an evening bonfire, and tons of on-farm fun! The highlight of the afternoon will be the Great Cow Parade, where guests are encouraged to cheer on the procession as the herd marches from the milking parlour through the scenic organic fields, and across the drive to the front field.
Food and beer will available for purchase throughout the day from Jammin’ Crepes Food Truck and Flying Fish Brewery (beer proceeds to support the Stony Brook- Millstone Watershed Association). Fun to be found throughout the day will include live music by Sparkle Pony, full face painting, an old-fashioned bake-off, the cow parade, hayrides, an evening bonfire, and farm tours. There will be a myriad of activities and vendors including a beekeeper, hawk master, hand-wool spinning and drayage demonstrations, educational presentations on cheese-making and pairing, Pinelands musicians, native plant experts, a children’s book author for story-reading, and more!
The parade and afternoon activities will culminate in the bonfire with local musicians jamming, pumpkin soup, and s’mores making kits.
Join the staff and friends at Cherry Grove Farm for the full farm experience celebrating and thanking the dairy herd for another great year of grass-fed, organic production. This big end of the season event will be bustling with fun activities, good food, and even greater company.
