Wind Down Fridays at the Farm Stand! 

Visit our farm stand this Friday for live music while you shop during our extended hours! We will be joined again by the Homebrew Music Collective. Join us for shopping and local musicians!  


Join Us for the Fun in the Sun Sundays Series!

Stop by Crossroads Farm on Sunday August 16th from 10am to 2pm to use our sunflowers as the perfect backdrop for your photos! Create family shots, selfies, or anything under the sun with our beautiful sunflowers as your inspiration! 

Learn how to create natural colorful dyes using veggies, flowers, and spices from the garden! Using these dyes and tie-dyeing techniques, participants will dye a t-shirt. Bring a white cotton t-shirt and Crossroads will provide the rest!
