What are you most excited about for the 2016 Halloween Season?
We're excited to bring this really unique attraction to our city. We're an urban farm working on improving food access in local communities so we're really excited about partnering with local food producers and about giving back. You should come hungry and chow down on Three Twisted Sisters Burgers and sip Hemp Kettle Tea Beverages before or after the haunt. Inside, there will also be a bevy of real local artisans adding to the artisinal ambiance.
