Cash or credit cards will be accepted by the food trucks. Cash or check will be accepted for Student Farm Club merchandise.
"This event is all about getting outside and reconnecting with nature a bit — whether it's by dancing to live music in the grass, eating a farm-fresh meal, or just enjoying the scenery,” said Marta Plumhoff, food systems coordinator. “June is a really beautiful time of year on the farm, and Summer Solstice is a perfect chance to savor it!"
Guests are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle, sun protection, a picnic blanket or lawn chair to sit on, and sturdy shoes. The farm also asks that guests do not bring pets to prevent damage to food crops currently in production. Casual tours will be offered throughout the evening.
The Ross Student Farm is near the intersection of Big Hollow and Fox Hollow roads. Location details and directions can be found on the Student Farm website. Guests may park in the paved lot next to the farm. If special parking accommodation is needed, please email studentfarm@psu.edu ahead of time.
In the case of inclement weather conditions, guests should check the Student Farm's Facebook and Instagram pages for updates. Additional summer events for the community are also viewable on the Student Farm's Facebook and Instagram pages.
