Dirt Farm Freeride
April 13 @ 9:00 am - 9:00 pm
We are excited to team up with Mark Stapperfenne to present the 2nd Annual Dirt Farm Freeride!
Athletes will hop on their ride of choice (longboards, street luge, trike, etc.) at the top of the Dirt Farm driveway and cruise on down the mountain past the vineyard, the hop yard, cherry trees and farmland. Spectators will be able to walk the course and watch the action, with your beverage in hand, of course!
We are excited to bring the Downhill Community onto our slice of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We offer panoramic views, a Kitchen Workshop offering killer bites, on-site parking, and of course…farm fresh beer!

Spectating is no charge. Our driveway will be closed to the public but you can still access the brewery via the Bluemont Vineyard driveway next door. Follow the signage to make your way to the taproom! Beer will be available for purchase in the taproom as well as along the spectating route.
We look forward to seeing y’all there!
