Come one and all!! Join us for the 22nd Gala May Festival at Orchard Hill and The Orchard School. This year featuring the Gourmet Morris dancers Tour.
Three Morris Dancing teams: Marlborough Women’s, Pine Woods Men’s, and Muddy River Women’s will thrill us with music, bells, dances, and drums, leaps and joy what ever the weather.
These three teams of dancers have been together for 30 years, and some of them have danced at The Orchard School since our beginnings. Join us to watch the spectacular, spirit rousing dances of the old days.
After we watch the Morris Dancers, families will be invited to dance around the Maypole to music and song, bringing in the growing season for us all!
We ask all families attending to make fruit kabobs and a finger food to offer to our school community.
A fun, free event open to all ages!

On Mother’s Day last year, hundreds of people came together to support and celebrate Flying Cloud Dairy in a time of need with a pectacular seasonally inspired local foods brunch at Orchard Hill Farm. This year the farm will again host this fabulous event to both honor our farming neighbors and give back to two worthy community organizations: The Orchard School and Community Center and the Fall Mountain Food Shelf. Bring your mother, bring a farmer or bring just yourself, but don’t miss this event.

This event is being held to promote the good work of our farming neighbors and to support two worthy local organizations: The Orchard School and The Fall Mountain Food Shelf. To accomplish these goals we will be purchasing ingredients from our farmers rather than asking for donations, and we will donate 100% of the profits to our two receiving organizations.
This year’s menu will include:
Spring greens salad with maple toasted walnuts and chevre
Pureed carrot and parsnip soup with creme fraiche
Local grass fed beef sliders, braised rabbit,
Ham and spinach quiche
chocolate eclairs,
cinnamon raisin french toast with maple caramel sauce.
