Chicken Run - 4th Annual
Come out to the farm and have tons of fun at our 4th annual Chicken Run on Sunday, June 1st, 2025. We host both a 5K and a 1 mile. Both races start at the same time, both are for either kids or adults, and you are welcome to run/walk either race. You will get a CFF Chicken Run t-shirt /medal on race day (if you sign up before May 9th – otherwise later).
Like to participate in groups? Win big prizes for your school if you get the most participation (% based), or the highest donation amounts!
After the race there will be a Hog Jog race with the farm pigs. Pick your favorite pig to win!!
The farm market will be open, lots of animals to see and you can also take a walk through our gardens and hoop house.
We are also looking for sponsors for this event and would love to hear from you if you’d like to help out in this way.

Garden Party Fundraiser
Reserve your place at our table on Saturday, June 7th (rain date is Sunday, June 8th) from 11-2:30 to enjoy live music, elegant brunch fare, dancing, drinks/treats, silent auction, and even a special musical presentation from Independence Elementary First Graders.
Our farm will be looking it’s best, so you’ll want to come out and see what we’ve been up to by touring all of our new spaces, seeing some of our baby animals, and talking with our wonderful volunteers.
We look forward to you helping us celebrate Wally Niezguski and his Farm Scholarship Fund, and the beautiful outdoors at the farm. It will be a lovely day, meeting with friends and family, strolling the grounds, enjoying all the hospitality… and supporting your favorite non-profit farm for kids in the process.
