The 12th Annual Adkins Farm Blueberry Festival Blues and Brews Saturday, July 15th.
We are working with CASA of Lane County as the nonprofit. You can see what they are about at https://www.casa-lane.org/. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a nonprofit organization that trains volunteers to advocate for children in foster care due to abuse and neglect and provides a powerful voice for them as they navigate the child welfare system.
This is near and dear to our hearts as 2 of our own children have been adopted from foster care and were blessed to have a CASA speaking on their behalf.~ The event is FREE ~ We will be collecting donations at the gate for CASA of Lane County.
- During the season we have Movie Nights on the Barn. Free, Kid Friendly Event.
- During the season we have Free Storytime and kid activities: Wednesdays at 10:00 (call to confirm)

We would like to take a moment to thank everyone who came out in support of our 2016 blueberry festival.

Thank you especially to Kelly and Buddy, Kudana Marimba, A Family for Every Child, Jessica and all of the AFFEC volunteers, Home Depot and all of their volunteers, Dess Legend face painting, Sierra, Savannah and family, the Baum family, Mark and Sue Adkins, Patt Lang, and many more. We could not have done this without your help and support.
