The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee hosted by Shead Farm, 2468 Cavalry Road, this Thursday, May 15th at 8am. Coffee, juice, and refreshments will be served, and attendees may register to win a special drawing.
Shead Farm is hosting their 5th Annual Shead Farm Homestead Festival this Saturday, May 17th, from 10am-5pm. There will be music, children’s activities, farm tours, a farm store, vendor booths, and a food court. The festival is a wonderful outing that ALL ages will enjoy. Admission is $5 for a single ticket or $25 for a family pass of 5 or more family members.
The Shead farm, established by Larry Shead’s ancestors, the Burckley family, has been home to Larry and wife Vickie since 1978. The couple shares a passion for gardening, and their annual festival, now in its 5th year, aims to inspire others to grow their own food. The festival also seeks to foster a deeper connection between the source of food and the providers of our needs. Through the event, the Shead’s hope to encourage others to embrace a closer relationship with both their food and their faith.
Directions to the Shead Farm from Fort Scott are to drive south on Highway 69 to Cavalry Road, turn east and follow the signs. The farm is approximately a 20-minute drive from Fort Scott, so the Chamber suggests attendees leave town by 7:40am to arrive on time.
