Raspberry Jam Farm Party

You are invited to the 3rd Annual Raspberry Jam Farm Party at Thunder Road Farm in the beautiful Jocko Valley! Join us for an evening of berry picking, live music, and a farm dinner featuring local flavors.

This event will take place at The Barn at Thunder Road, which overlooks the valley and is surrounded by a 2 acre raspberry patch. Doors open at 6pm. Please check in at the gate, where each guest will receive a half-pint container for u-picking.

Enjoy the music of Travis Yost's band, Love is a Dog, while sampling our ripe raspberries and taking in the gorgeous views. Beer, wine, and sparkling water will be available for purchase.

Dinner will be prepared by Husk Masa and served at 7pm, buffet-style. The evening's menu will include hand-made tamales, sides and salads, and dessert. (Please note any dietary restrictions when reserving tickets so we can accommodate!). The meal will feature fresh, local ingredients, including Thunder Road Farm beef!

About the Venue:

We are proud to be hosting the Raspberry Jam in our new event space, The Barn at Thunder Road. The barn overlooks the valley and is surrounded by a 2 acre raspberry patch, boasting 18 varieties of brambles. The barn is fully enclosed with a wide covered porch, and has large garage and sliding glass doors which can be opened wide to admit the breeze. The party will take place mostly outdoors, and guests may enjoy meandering through the raspberry rows or listening to music on a picnic blanket in the lawn. However, if the weather should take a turn, we will easily be able to move the party inside.

What to Bring (and what not to bring):

• Please do not bring your own alcohol. Our event insurance policy does not allow this.

• Sun hat or sunscreen (late-July evenings can still be warm and sunny!).

• Camp chair or picnic blanket (we will have some chairs and tables, but you are welcome to bring your own set-up).

• Cash, card, or Venmo for drink purchase (water is free).

• We love animals, but please leave your dog at home.

• We will provide berry picking containers. Each guest will receive one half-pint container to fill, and is also invited to graze.
