It was a total night of luna-see as the week was winding down heading into the weekend. Wintergreen Winery held the first of what’s rumored to be more events like this in the future. The night to dance by the light of the moon was held at The Verandah, the new event facility at the winery.
It was a perfect night for people to unwind and relax under the covered patio at The Verandah. Jacabone plays as the sun set, and the near full moon was on the rise at the winery. People grabbed their favorite wine and headed for the patio for a night of dancing and relaxation.
As we mentioned the people over at Wintergreen Winery tell us they have more events like this planned in the future. Keep watching!
Blue Mountain Brewery fro 2:30-5:00. Join Bryan Elija Smith & the Wildhearts for a beautiful afternoon on the patio. Grab a drink and a pizza and enjoy. Blue Reserve now on tap!

If you don’t know the name Joel Salatin by now, you should. Joel is considered the foremost expert on non-industrial food production. He and his family started Polyface Farm back in 1961. Rather than using highly industrialized methods to bring the old farm back into shape, Joel ignored conventional wisdom and used earth friendly methods to bring his farm to life. This past Thursday evening, Joel spoke to roughly 100 people at Pharsalia in Tyro about his decades of experience and why the country is facing a severe food problem if people don’t return to concept of knowing where their food comes from.
The lawn at Pharsalia was packed with people wanting to hear Joel Salatin's message. Reservations were cut off at 100 people, countless more called hoping to get a chance to hear his message.
“You don’t have to look any farther than the egg scare going on in the country right now to see why we need a return to local eating and not industrialized food production,” Joel told the audience. Joel has long been a critic of the way the USDA and FDA oversee food production in the US. He told the crowd huge agricultural corporations have taken over food production here in the the US while leaving food less safe than ever.
Richard Morgan of Pharsalia greets one of the many people on hand Thursday evening to hear Joel Salatin speak. Joel makes an emotional point to the crowd Thursday evening as he discusses the tremendous need to return to local eating.
