Dolly Days – Saturday and Sunday, September 5th-6th
Come celebrate one of our favorites this weekend. Put on your Dolly T-shirt or go ahead and dress up as Dolly and come out to honor the woman that represents everything this world needs…kindness.

90’s Trivia – Thursday, September 10th
Dust off your flannel, grab your old school crew, and get ready to travel back to the decade of boy bands, grunge, one-hit wonders, TGIF, Must-See TV, MTV, and Nickelodeon. Starts at 6:30PM
Fresh Hop Weekend – Saturday and Sunday, September 12th-13th
Join us on the farm to celebrate the release of our first 100% Indiana grown Fresh Hop Ale.
You don’t get any more Farm to Glass than this! We pick the hops the same day that we brew the beer, straight from the bine to the kettle. We then ferment it with wild yeast that we have propagated on the farm!
That’s right! Our Fresh Hopped Farmhouse Ale includes malt from our friends at Sugar Creek Malt in Lebanon along with Delphi water and hops grown right here on Fontana Farms.
We hope to see you for this exciting weekend celebrating the agriculture that makes Indiana and Fontana Farms so special
