Beer & Oyster Fest
April 19 @ 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm
On Saturday, April 19th, we will be hosting a new event at the farm. The inaugural Manor Hill Beer & Oyster Fest begins at noon and will feature:
The release of our brand new Oyster Stout in cans and on draught
Fresh Local Oysters (shucked to order) from multiple purveyors and oyster farms
Oyster-Themed Food Specials from the Pizza Trolley
Dessert from Mr Soft Ice Cream Truck
Live Music from Mandy B. in the Courtyard
Most of the activities will take place from 12-4pm, but the Farm will be open until 7pm!
The Farm & Taproom will have 13 farm-brewed beers (+ our hard seltzer) on draught and multiple options in cans available to go. All seating on the Farm is first come, first served. We have indoor seating, a large covered tent, and plenty of outdoor space to spread out. There are several picnic tables in our field, but we also encourage you to bring your own chairs or even a portable (10×10) pop-up tent for shade and find your new favorite spot with friends. (if you bring a tent, don’t forget the weights/stakes).
Yard Games (cornhole, bocce, etc) and balls/frisbees are welcome, but must remain in hop field and other grassy areas on the farm. They are not permitted in the paved courtyard by the Tap Room and Tent. Please note that while this is a family friendly event, children must remain under parental supervision at all times.
While visiting the farm, be sure to check out our agriculture in action. Our award-winning beers may be our most well-known agricultural product, but our 54-acre working farm has so much more to offer. In fact, the majority of our land is used for agriculture… so you can’t miss it no matter where you are on the farm!
As you enter the farm, on the right side of the driveway, you will see 14 acres of non-GMO corn. Every single beer brewed at Manor Hill uses this corn in its recipe. On the left side of the driveway as you enter you will see our 12-acre cow pasture where we host about 20-25 Black Angus Cattle on the farm from Spring to Fall (there is an additional cattle pasture behind the residence). Directly behind our Taproom, we have a coop with one rooster (Elvis) and approximately 30 egg-laying hens. Next to our chicken coop is our goat enclosure featuring Mary and Gilbert, a mother and son set of Pygmy Goats. Last, but certainly not least, is our array of gardens on the farm that produce various vegetables, fruits, and herbs used in our beer, Trolley pizza, and at our restaurants. Informational signs on the property as well as our staff can answer any questions you have during your visit.
Note that our Pizza Trolley & other food trucks may close one hour before the farm closes. Please check back regularly as this schedule can change as the date approaches.
