This evening concert will take place at Valley Flora Farm in Langlois, Oregon. An organic farm and “mother-and-two-daughter collective” nestled on the banks of Floras Creek, Valley Flora Farm grows hundreds of varieties of vegetables, berries, and fruit with the help of draft horses, a handful of fantastic employees, one little tractor, and 12 kilowatts of solar power. The piano will be situated in the middle of the farm, north of the horse corral. Concert check-in opens at 4:00 pm, and the performance begins at 5:00 pm. Please arrive early enough to park and walk to the site.
