Thursday, June 4, 2026
5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. • Rosedale Farms and Vineyards, 25 East Weatogue St., Simsbury
Celebrate a very special 50th anniversary on protected land that tells a story of stewardship, resilience, and community. You will not want to miss the Simsbury Land Trust’s 50th Anniversary Dinner at the beautiful Rosedale Farms & Vineyards. An evening filled with live music, delicious food and drinks, good company, a silent auction and a special keynote speaker by Rosedale Farm owner, Marshall Epstein.
In 2003 Simsbury Land Trust received a USDA grant to acquire a conservation easement on Rosedale Farm. This easement ensures that Rosedale Farm will stay farmland in perpetuity. SLT and Rosedale Farm work together to adhere to the USDA conservation agreement and it is with great enthusiasm that we hold our dinner on the farm and our community can hear from Rosedale Farm owner, Marshall Epstein about what it takes to maintain a farm in 2026 - and beyond.
