Happenings at the Farm
Events Calendar
Here are some events we’ve planned throughout the year, but the best way to stay up-to-date on what we’re doing at Darnell Farms, is to follow us on Facebook. Sometimes we just like to do something fun without planning!
Our events generally include some combination of the following: unique handcrafted items directly from vendors, live entertainment, bounce houses, waterslides during most summer events, traditional Appalachian demonstrations, food trucks, and much, much more.
