An All Day Farm Party @ Red Horse Ranch in Fennville, Michigan. Local restaurateurs, Journeyman & Rye have joined forces with the folks at New Holland Brewing Company, Red Horse Ranch and Fenn Valley Winery to host an all-day farm party & harvest celebration on October 4th. The event will feature live music from local artists, local pork & produce, local beers and local wine. Admission is being sold “by the carload” in conjunction with the groups eco-friendly slogan, “Save Gas, Eat Pork.” A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the Saugatuck Dunes Coastal Alliance.
The collaborators behind Porkapalooza share common ground in their pursuit of quality and their belief in championing local, sustainable lifestyles. The event will shine a light on some of the areas treasures, including not only the products available, but the creative energy of many local artisans and musicians.
