  • The Harmonic Level sponsor, supports what we call Thursdays at the Farm.

    Thursdays at the Farm take place weekly from June through October, from 5:00–8:00 pm. These evenings are an open, informal time to spend at Homesteads for Hope Community Farm—designed for people to slow down, enjoy the setting, and connect with others.

    Each week typically includes live music, space to sit along the canal, simple games, and time to wander the farm as the sun sets. The Farm Store is open during the event, and guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs and coolers to make themselves comfortable.

    Thursdays at the Farm are family-friendly and come-and-go as you please—whether you stay for the whole evening or stop by for a short visit. The focus is on being outdoors, sharing space, and enjoying the farm together.

Kudos to Jenny and the team at H4H!"
