**Special Note (please share): Half of the proceeds from all October events will be donated to a trusted team (Reverence Farms) who are bringing relief needs to the Western NC residents impacted by Hurricane Helene. They are taking much needed resources to isolated communities in the mountains that aren't currently reached by government support. (to donate directly please go to Reverence Farms Instagram or Facebook pages)**

Come taste some fantastic craft beverages from Honeygirl Meadery, including their mead (plus light snacks), then snuggle our sweet goats and sheep while you are feeling nice and relaxed! :)

Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options will be available.

*Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from fermenting honey and fruits/herbs carefully selected and crafted by the Honeygirl team. They also handcraft other beverages both alcoholic and non-alcoholic*

~These classes lend themselves to relaxing, calm time, so all participants will need to be aware of and open to this.

Ages: Recommended 12+, must be 21 to choose alcoholic beverage tasting

Cost:

*Beverages + Goat Snuggles: $40 per participant (tips for drinktender, purchase of farm products, and donations for the farm are also appreciated)

*Beverage ONLY tickets: $25 per participant. Attend the beverage tasting and have time on the farm, but no goat snuggle area. Perfect for those who like to watch, but not get up close and personal with the animals. (tips for your drinktender, purchase of farm products, and donations for the farm are also appreciated)
