2025 in Review: It Was Never Just About the Farm. It Was Always About the “Farmily”

The air is crisp. The Corn Maze has seen its last adventurer. And the final (smashed) pumpkin from Farmnovember has been cleared.

As we stand here in early November, it’s the perfect moment to pause, catch our breath, and look back.

And what a year it’s been.

2025 wasn’t just another year at Vineyard Farm. It was the year we truly saw what this place was all about. It was never just about growing vegetables or running festivals. It was about building a community.

It was the year of the “Farmily.”

The Seasons We Shared Together

We started 2025 with a promise: the 120,000 tulip bulbs we planted in the cold. When they exploded into color, it created a magical Mother’s Day Tulip Harvest that we’ll never forget.

We honored our community heroes for Father’s Day and celebrated independence with a bang on the 4th of July. Then, as the summer sun hit its peak, you picked your own bouquets in our stunning Sunflower Festival.

Our Farm Kids Fest brought an energy and joy that set the tone for the rest of the year, with families exploring every corner of the farm. We were also incredibly proud to participate in community events, like the D.W. Field Park’s 100-year celebration.

A Fall We’ll Never Forget

And then… came fall. Our busiest, most energetic season yet.

You proved that our October Fest wasn’t just a name, but a vibe, with music, laughter, and that perfect country energy.

You showed up for our Movie Nights, getting cozy in the barn and proving that a (free) movie is better with hot pizza and community.

And finally, you closed out the season with us at Farmnovember. You helped us give the Corn Maze its final, $4 farewell tour. You bravely took the stage at our Open Mic Karaoke. And yes, you helped us create the most satisfying event of the year: The Great Pumpkin Smash!
