Focus on the Farm – August 2021

We’re excited to announce that acoustic guitarist and solo vocalist Nick Garrett-Powell will perform at Hanley Farm’s August “Picnic at the Porch” concert, delighting us with a collection of acoustic music and extraordinary vocals. Bring a picnic, find a nice spot under the trees or on the lawns, and enjoy the show!

The show is on August 5, 6:30-8:30pm (gates open at 5:45pm). Tickets are $25 per adult, and $10 per child (under age 21). Children’s tickets include an unlimited supply of popcorn, and adult tickets include a glass of wine, a bag of peanuts, and a small bouquet of fresh flowers! Plus, there will be food and dessert trucks onsite to purchase additional food and beverages. Join in the fun!
