LEYSTONE EVENTS 2025
One of the things we love the most about the farm is inviting people to come share the experience with us. We have lots of activities and events each year at Leystone and we invite you to take a look and see what speaks to you!

FALL 2025 POST-CONSTRUCTION PARTY!!
Roadwork this summer has hit us hard, but it looks like there’s an end in sight. As soon as the 148 reopens, we’ll be throwing a party and you’re invited! Date and time will be announced on social media. In the meantime, if you’re able and willing to brave the barricades, we remain open throughout the construction.
