Join us for delicious food, live music, an art raffle, and tons of fun!

The Harvest Party marks the start of the Kaw Valley Farm Tour, which will take place on Saturday, October 4, and Sunday, October 5, and feature 33 farms and cultural heritage sites throughout the Kaw River valley.

Harvest Party proceeds will benefit the Lumberyard Arts Center, a cultural heritage site on the farm tour. Located in Baldwin City, the arts center is a creative community hub for public art, live local music, theatre, and rotating art exhibits.

Saltwell Farm Kitchen will present a tasting menu of small plates, entrees, and dessert stations available throughout the nursery with seasonal dishes created by twice James Beard Nominee, Chef Rozz Petrozz, co-owner of Saltwell Farm Kitchen. Food stations will feature a variety of seasonal dishes with tastes inspired by plants in the nursery. Two signature Saltwell cocktail pairings will be included in the progressive dining event, and a cash bar will be open throughout the evening. A variety of culinary experiences will be provided that honor dietary restrictions and non-alcoholic options. 

The Harvest Party will feature video projections by Lawrence artists Marlo Angell and Peter Jasso, as well as live music by the Jubilee Mystics. Ticket purchasers are automatically entered to win an original print by Justin Marable, featured artist for the 2025 Lawrence Art in the Park.

Tickets to the Harvest Party can be purchased online here or in person at Vinland Valley Nursery.
