What is Hen’s Night Out?
It’s a drinking with chickens event! 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! It’s an excuse to get together with friends & family (or even meet some new people!), enjoy the outdoors, and experience fun on The FARM.
Hen’s Night Out is hosted at the FARMstand bar. You’ll be surrounded by hens in our blueberry field
Each ticket includes a farm-crafted grazing board with farm-fresh fruit, veggies, artisan cheeses & other items as well as bottomless wine (wine chosen to complement the board).
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!!”

Spring Farm to Table Dinner with Chef Nivit Tipvaree
2024-05-19 16:00 - 19:30 | SC
Kick off the start of our 2024 season out here on The FARM with a true farm-to-table dinner experience. This four-course, fully-plated meal will feature fresh, locally grown and raised ingredients from our farm.
The chef for this dinner is Chef Nivit Tipvaree, owner of Bodhi Thai Dining. Chef Nivit, a native from Nakhon Swan, Thailand, wears many culinary hats. His expertise as a Thai, Sushi, and French culinary Chef provides a broad base for his beautiful and delicious culinary dishes. Chef Nivit treats cooking as an opportunity to create art on multiple levels including tastes, texture, and appearance.
Thailand holds a special place in the hearts of our owners, Brett & McKenzie Flashnick. 2024 marks our 10th wedding anniversary, and we spent our honeymoon in Thailand. As we were thinking about our spring event, we wanted to share the beauties of this country and its culinary greatness with the Lexington community. There was no one better to make this a reality than Chef Nivit.
We’re beyond excited to bring you this unique event. This dinner will be more intimate than our typical Spring Dinners. You’ll still sit family style, but each course will be individually plated.
There will be a welcome experience that highlights the Thai culture followed by a 4-course meal. Tickets include a wine paired to complement each course.
1st course
Patty pan squash bisque
2nd course
Octopus
Grilled octopus, mixed greens, heirloom tomato, quinoa and fish sauce vinaigrette

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.

Annual Harvest Dinner
2023-09-29 18:00 - 21:00 | SC
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.

The FARM 1780’s next round of laying hens will hatch on August 7th. And we have an exciting opportunity for a few families to care for these chicks with our first-ever rent-a-chick program. Our program includes 3-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, August 26th, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Each family will receive:

3 chicks (about 3-weeks old)
A box for the chicks to live in
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 Spring

At the end of two weeks, you will return your chicks and equipment to The FARM.
Drop-off: Saturday, September 9th, 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
$25 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 $25).

Relax, breathe, and stretch on a Friday morning to prepare for your weekend with Caroline Whisennant during Yoga on The FARM. Class is for all levels of yoga. Bring your own mat and water bottle. We are offering this class during our Mom’s Mornings on The FARM (included for Mom’s attending Mom’s Morning) because we believe that it’s important for parents to prioritize time for themselves.
If you are not participating in Mom’s Morning you can still attend yoga!
But, if you need childcare, then head on over to the mom’s morning on the farm sessions and buy a session for that. Please do RSVP here for yoga even if you purchase a Mom’s Morning session. You can read more about Mom’s Morning on The FARM (8:30 – 10:30 a.m.):https://thefarm1780.com/moms
Caroline came to yoga to find ease in pregnancy. It became a way to care for her mind and body as she grew her young family. In 2019, Caroline began practicing and training under the lovely folks at Pink Lotus Yoga Center in Lexington. She earned her 200-hour yoga teacher training (RYT200) in June 2020.
