Sliding-Scale Pricing
We believe in making Sukkot on the Farm accessible to all who want to celebrate with us. The true cost per person is about $100, which covers meals (Saturday dinner, and Sunday breakfast and lunch), programming, facilities, and fair compensation for our teachers and musicians.
Sukkah Build
