SkyRise Farm to host Black Barn Winter Market

MILLERTON —  On Saturday, Dec. 2, and Sunday, Dec. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Black Barn Winter Market at SkyRise Farm will host an intimate, indoor/outdoor experience of craft, community and care. 

The ticketed event promises to be a celebration of some of the Hudson Valley’s finest artists, makers, chefs, bakers, and purveyors. Created with the hope of fostering a sense of wonder, discovery and connection, the Black Barn Winter Market was born out of a conversation between friends Sarah Rigano of Form + Light, Erika DaSilva of Ten Mile Table, and Erica Recto of Erica Recto Art and BES. 

“It came about so organically,” said Rigano. “We celebrate cycles and seasons at the farm, so as the year comes to a close and winter arrives with the solstice, this felt like a beautiful way to honor that.”

Artists included at the event will be Erica Recto Art, Foxtrot Farm and Flowers, Hort and Pott, OBSERVED, Ten Mile Table and many others with nourishment for purchase by Westerly Canteen, warming drinks by Ilse Coffee, and sweets by Vitsky Bakery and Shared Gooods. The feeling on the farm will be festive. DJs including Upstate Soul Club will be spinning fireside grooves. Craft stations featuring Roygbiv, BES, Thistlepass Farm and others will be open to guests.

Part of the proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Northeast Community Center (NECC). Said Rigano, “We are honored to support the good work of the NECC, to elevate these talented makers and to create openings for greater joy and connection amongst neighbors, positive momentum to carry us through the long winter.” 

Tickets are $30 each and must be purchased in advance, at which time more information, including the address, will be provided. For tickets, go to https://bit.ly/47GaECt
