2022 Pumpkin Shoot at The FARM 1780
2022-11-20 11:00 - 16:00 | The FARM, 1127 Corley Mill Rd., Lexington, SC, 29072
What in the heck is a pumpkin shoot?
It’s similar to a Turkey Shoot – a friendly shooting competition where the prize is typically food (a turkey, bundle of meat, etc…). For our pumpkin shoot, the prizes will be gift certificates to The FARM 1780 that can be used to purchase food from our produce stand or attend ticketed events hosted by The FARM. Prizes are as follows:
1st place $50 gift certificate to The FARM, 2nd place $30 Gift Certificate to The FARM, 3rd place $17 Gift Certificate to The FARM.

Why are y’all having a pumpkin shoot?
Growing up around The FARM, Brett (aka Farmer Flash) always looked forward to using the family’s Halloween pumpkins for target practice. It’s always fun to have a different type of target. This year we have an extra 25 pumpkins that didn’t find their home for Halloween, so we are turning them into 25 chances to see if you shoot like Buffalo Bill or Annie Oakley. It’s also a great way to get to know your neighbors and community.
Ok, I’m interested. How does it work?
You start by purchasing a pumpkin from the list below. Every purchase comes with an NRA B-8 scale target, a time slot, use of Farmer Flash’s Scoped Thompson Center 10/22 pattern .22 rifle with a locally made Innovative Arms suppressor, and 15 shots. You will arrive at The FARMstand 5 minutes before your allotted time and Farmer Flash will take you up to his shooting range where he will give a safety briefing and instructions on how the rifle operates. After that, you have the remainder of your allotted time to take 15 shots on the target from a distance of 50 ft (16.67 yds) either standing, sitting, kneeling, or prone. Once finished your target will be scored. All ties will be decided by the number of shots in the “F” ring (F-Ring stands for FARM ring, and replaces the traditional X-ring because, of course, we want to have a little fun with this!) If there is a tie at this stage the winner will be determined by the shooter who took the least amount of time to complete their target.
Each ticket includes the ability for a maximum of TWO observers to accompany the participant. Participants must be at least 8 years of age to shoot. All participants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a legal guardian over the age of 18.
When is it?
Sunday, November 20th from 11 am – 4 pm.

Hen's Night Out - Bourbon Heritage Month
2023-09-21 17:30 - 19:30
Kick-off Fall & join us for the return of Hen’s Night Out. September is Bourbon Heritage Month and we’re going to celebrate with farm crafted bourbon cocktails and wines & beers aged in bourbon barrels. So, no matter your drink of choice – we’ll have something for you!
What is Hen’s Night Out?
On a trip to Key West, I saw this image in the bathroom of the historic Sloppy Joe’s bar and it inspired me to create this series of events at The FARM. I’ve been wanting to do a drinking with chickens event for several years now and this was just the sign I needed to pull it together!
This will be our 4th Hen’s Night Out and whether you’re a regular or a newbie, I can’t wait to drink with you! – McKenzie Flashnick (co-owner)
You’ll be surrounded by hens in our blueberry field, able to feed them treats, and you’ll also be able to visit with all of the chickens that we have on the property. We will have baby chicks that hatch on August 7th for you to hold and interact with. Additionally, our silkie hen went broody again and she might have a few day old babies – no guarantees, but we will keep you updated!
Each ticket includes yummy food with farm-grown ingredients as well as bottomless cocktails, wine, and beer.
What people have to say about Hen’s Night Out:

“It was the coolest experience and I would definitely do it again.”

“Had a wonderful time. Loved the setting and the small group.”

“Didn’t know what to expect but y’all didn’t disappoint! Atmosphere was great, food was incredible, and the wine was yummy too! Thank you so much for putting this on – Lexington needed this!!”
This is a 21+ only event! Men are welcome (but only if you can handle it!).

Annual Harvest Dinner
2023-09-29 18:00 - 21:00
The 3rd Annual Harvest Dinner is a farm-to-table dining experience you don’t want to miss! This four-course meal is paired with wines chosen to complement the dishes. Chef Andy Marchant of Cinnamon Hill Kitchen will be preparing an exceptional menu that celebrates Fall in the South!

Andy Marchant’s passion for food started with his family’s wholesale produce business. Being around fresh foods at an early age led him to appreciate quality ingredients which always inspired great meals. With a culinary career spanning over 35 years, Chef Andy has worked in the best restaurants of Charleston SC, The Park Hotel in Charlotte NC, and eventually opening The Restaurant at Cinnamon Hill in 1988. After eleven years of owning his own restaurant, Marchant would become the executive chef for Tronco’s Catering, the South Carolina Governor’s Mansion and many other professional kitchens. The chef decided to bring back the concept of his former restaurant, Cinnamon Hill, by founding Cinnamon Hill Kitchen in 2022. His experience in his own restaurant, corporate catering, four-star hotels and the South Carolina Governor’s Mansion have all contributed to the passionate creation of a new culinary concept here in Lexington.

Menu:
Chef’s Soup
Farm 1780 Roasted Dutch Fork Pumpkin + Cinnamon Oven Baked Apple + Crème Fraiche + Toasted Pumpkin Seed Dust
Farm 1780 Kale Salad
Farm 1780 Kale + Farm 1780 Roasted Beets + Local Goat Cheese + Candied Walnuts + Farm 1780 Micro Greens + Lemon – Dijon Vinaigrette

What people have to say about Farm-to-Table Dinners at The FARM 1780:
“It was a beautiful evening from start to finish.”
“It was all delicious and learning about the food was our favorite part (how it was prepared/stored, who made it, the freshness, why ingredients were chosen, etc.). Chef was amazing!”
“Plenty of wine, excellent quality of food.”
“Absolutely wonderful event! Setup, food, atmosphere, staff…Everything was great!”
“Worth every penny. It was priced perfectly for a lovely evening with friends or a loved one.”

Rent-a-Chick (Spring 2024)
2024-03-02 10:00 - 2024-03-16 15:00 | The FARM, 1127 Corley Mill Rd., Lexington, SC, 29072
We are SOLD OUT for the Spring 2024 season. But you can join the waitlist below.

The FARM 1780’s next round of laying hens will hatch on February 21st. And we have an exciting opportunity for a few families to care for these chicks with our second rent-a-chick program. Our program includes 1-week-old chicks and all of the supplies that you need to care for them for two weeks. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is thinking about getting chickens or even those who can’t have chickens because of HOA rules (these will remain in a container that you keep in your home or garage). When you return your chicks & supplies, you’ll get a certificate for a dozen eggs to use when your chicks start laying.
Pick-up: Saturday, March 2nd, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Each family will receive:

3 chicks (about 1-week old)
A box for the chicks to live in
Extra bedding
Feeders, Waterers, and Feed for 2-weeks
Heat Lamp
Instructions for care
A certificate for a dozen eggs when your chicks start lay in the Fall

At the end of two weeks, you will return your chicks and equipment to The FARM.
Drop-off: Saturday, March 16th, 1:00 pm – 3:00 p.m. Chicks can only be returned during this window. If you cannot drop-off during this time, please do not reserve them.
$30 per family (at pick-up you will be asked to leave a credit card on file. If you do not return your chicks for equipment, we will charge the card on file an additional $30 to cover the cost of equipment).
FAQs:
Q: Where will I keep the baby chicks?
A: Choose an area inside of your garage or home. DO NOT place chicks outside on a porch, deck, or area where they will be in the elements and susceptible to predators. Pick an area that allows for proper ventilation while avoiding drafts
Q: What if we have pets?
A: Other pets, like cats and dogs, need to be kept away from the chicks. These animals have predatory insticts that may pose a threat to the chicks & there shouldn’t be direct contact between the two. Obviously, your pet is a member of your family and so if separation is not possible, then we suggest reconsidering the rent-a-chick program.
Q: What is a good age range for Rent-a-Chick?
A: Any child can enjoy this experience. And, we’ve even had adults without children participate in this program! Young children do need to be supervised and you should not allow them to hold the chicks on their own until they have had some practice. Watch for pulling, poking, biting, shaking, and dropping (this is a natural reaction for a young child who hasn’t interacted before, but they can quickly learn proper handling)
Q: What if we decide chickens aren’t for us and we want to return them early?
A: Our chickens are always welcome home! If you get into this and decide at any point it’s not for you all, then just give us a call and we’ll schedule a time for you to return them. There are no refunds for early returns.
Q: What if we really like the experience and decide we want to keep the chickens?
A: This happens a bunch! We are thrilled when families have such a good experience and decide to continue on their own journey with chickens. You’ll just give us a call and let us know your intentions. We’ll then bill your credit card on-file for the additional $30 to cover the cost of the chicks and the equipment. Send us pics once in awhile! We love keeping up with their journey.
