The Summer Spectacle
The Summer Spectacle which drew an audience of 40 persons to three outdoor settings in its beginning, now draws an audience of thousands who attend for six weeks throughout the entire Farm. This special event has defined the Living Culture of DE and the town of Ashfield, which, over the course of these creative years together, have become a community.
Our wildly popular Summer Spectacle performance leads audiences around the land of our stunning farm center — following actors, musicians, and dancers in a one-of-a-kind, immersive experience.
