Photos from 2021 Plow Day at Homeplace on Green River

Click headline for photos from Spring Plow Day.

By Lyn Stanton

At Homeplace on Green River, we were honored to hold Spring Plow Day on Saturday, April 24, 2021. While the rain did reduce the festivities slightly, it couldn't dampen our spirits!

In the petting zoo area, visitors got to see shaggy highland cattle, exotic peacocks, miniature chickens, and hedgehogs, pet a baby cow, feed some adorable goats and more. Children got to run through our hay maze in the bottom of the bank barn, and try their hand on the ceramicist David Waltz's potters wheel.

There were bunches of great vendors selling everything from cute crocheted stuffies, to deer antler handle knives, to gorgeous jewelry, to heavenly smelling hand-made candles, to invigorating sugar facial scrubs. Folks learned all about the practice of lard rendering from Mr. Kent Penick, about our favorite little buzzy pollinators from the Green River Bee Keepers, and about the culture and practices of Native Peoples from Ms. Darlene Campbell.


We enjoyed a day of great food from Smokin joe's BBQ, the Lunch Box and The First Baptist Church of Columbia. The live music in the Bank Barn was fantastic from the uplifting and joyful songs performed by the First Baptist Church choir, to the classic bluegrass tunes of the Foster Children and the great sounds of the Exie Boys, finished off by the free-style jamming of our 3rd Thursdays Musicians.

So, while the rain was a bit unfortunate, we still had a great day and can't wait to see everyone again for Fall Heritage Festival on September 11th!
