Thursdays at the Farm Every Thursday from June 11th through October 15th, 2026 | 5:00–8:00 PM Homesteads for Hope | 2185 Manitou Rd, Rochester, NY 14606

Thursdays at the Farm are back, and it’s one of our favorite ways to spend a summer evening. Every Thursday from June 11th through October 15th, 2026, the farm opens at 4:30 for a relaxed, come-as-you-are kind of night - wander the grounds, check out local vendors, swing by the farm store, or let the kids enjoy pony rides. Enjoy it all from 5-8 PM, the sun going down right on the canal, live music playing as the backdrop to it all. Bring your own chairs, coolers, or even a fishing pole, and settle in with good people and good energy.

What to Expect 🌿 An Easygoing Evening on the Farm Doors open at 4:30. Come when you can, and settle into the space at your own pace. 🎶 Live Music (5:00–8:00 PM) Southbound 35 will set the tone for the evening - a perfect background for catching up, relaxing, or dancing a little if the mood strikes. 🛍️ Local Vendors + Farm Store Browse a mix of local goods and stop by the farm store for fresh finds and favorites. 🐴 Pony Rides & Family Fun A hit with the kids (and the kids at heart), plus plenty of room to roam and explore. 🎣 Fishing & Open Space Bring a pole if you’d like, or just enjoy the pond, the fields, and a little extra breathing room. 🪑 Come Prepared to Stay Awhile Bring your own chairs, coolers, snacks, or picnic setup - make it your kind of night. 💚 Suggested Donation A $5 suggested donation at the door helps support the farm and keep these nights going.
