Spring will be in full bloom in the night sky as we gather at the Farm to enjoy the stars, constellations, and other wonders of the season. Our friend, astronomer, author, and natural storyteller Stephan Martin will guide us through the brilliant starscape of a clear spring evening in the mountains.Discover some of the season’s “must-see” constellations—including Boötes, the Bear-Watcher, the Great and Little Bears, and Leo the Lion. We’ll hear the timeless stories behind these star patterns and catch a preview of the summer constellations rising along the eastern horizon.
This night is especially magical: the Lyrid meteor shower will be near its peak, and with a new moon providing extra-dark skies, we’ll have a perfect view of the celestial fireworks. To top it off, Jupiter and Venus will shine brightly, offering spectacular sights through binoculars.
Before the program begins:
Check in at the will-call list (no physical tickets required) inside the Farm Store! We'll have Build-Your-Own Charcuterie boards, wine, sodas, beer, local sweets and more to snuggle down and enjoy.
What to Bring:
Check the weather and dress warmly for the cool mountain evening. We recommend blankets or camp chairs, good shoes for walking the grounds, and any telescopes, binoculars, or spyglasses you’d like to bring along for an even closer look.
Date: Friday, April 17th, 2026
Time: 9pm-10:30pm
