Although HeyDay welcomes children 7 and older at their weekly Community Dinners, for this Valentine event, maybe get a sitter. Hey Day farm is always a hot ticket, so if you miss out on tickets this year- mark your calendars for upcoming events.
Heyday Farm is a family-owned 25 acre sustainable and historic farm on Bainbridge Island.
Our commitment is to increase collective nourishment just as family farms did back in their heydays. Our intimate farm house and surrounding grounds combine to create a picturesque site to enjoy some of the best food around. Chef Tad makes use of the freshest local and seasonal ingredients available, much of which is sourced from our own gardens. We grow and sell farm fresh food, offer farm to table events, and professional and family retreats for our island community and visitors near and far who want to understand, experience and celebrate our region and the food we produce.
