Support our largest fundraiser of the year! All proceeds of the event go directly into our mission as a nonprofit organization.

Here at Allaire Community Farm, we provide transformative and unique experiences through engagement with our valued and respected rescued animals along with vast opportunities to engage in our working farm.
