Bloom Festival, June 8th, 2-10 pm

Hey! Come Bloom with us!

 

Tryon Life Community Farm invites you to come and celebrate community in full bloom!

Bloom is a fabulously fun, family-friendly festival filled with live music, games, activities, local organic food, workshops, and performances upon the rolling meadows and blossoming gardens of TLC Farm, nestled up to the magnificent forests of Tryon Creek State Forest. Come lounge in the grass, frolic with the baby goats, and revel in the sunshine!  

Bloom is a FUNdraiser for TLC Farm - come ready for generosity!

Friends of the farm will be sprinkled about the land throughout the day offering music, entertainment, workshops, games and crafts. Every nook and cranny of the farm will hold some magic for you, your friends, and your family to enjoy.
