Birdsong Listening Party: Spring Equinox
A feeling of awakening and balance marks Spring Equinox on the farm. The evening hours are brighter, but the sun's rays still shine at a soft angle, pulling us back to the outside. The plants are beginning to grow with vigor, with tender green leaves just unfurled to meet the longer days. And the birds come back; their song a harbinger of solar spring.
.
Join us for an evening basking in the equal balance between day and night, soundtracked by the GRAMMY® award-winning compilation album For The Birds: The Birdsong Project, all while enjoying a plated five-course dinner from Chef Alex and her team in the Granor Greenhouse.

Like spotting the first red-breasted robin of the year, the return of bird calls marks the moment when the farm re-awakens. We're honoring that annual waypost with a dinner set to The Birdsong Project.
For the Birds: The Birdsong Project is a collection of 172 pieces of new music inspired by the beauty of birdsong, performed by artists from across the musical spectrum. Comprised of 20 LPs, each with original cover art, this deluxe box set also features 73 works of bird-inspired poetry, read by familiar and famous voices. Featuring the project's co-producer, artist/musician Elliot Bergman, this dinner-long listening party will comprise songs, calls, and spoken word pieces from this extensive project.
Copies of the 20-vinyl LP collection, For the Birds, are available for pre-order at the time of booking, with a few copies available for purchase on the night. Proceeds of the collection benefit the National Audubon Society.
