If you didn't have the chance to join us this year -- save the date for 2026. The 40th Peconinic will be on Saturday, June 3rd, 2026
A big thank you to the Halsey family – John, Evelyn, Jenn, Craig, Will, and Kaye – for welcoming us to their beautiful farm. It was a perfect location will the apple orchard in early bloom.
