The first ever Beaconfest will be hosted at the Barn at Snipes Farm and Education Center.
Founded in 2008 as a 501(c)(3) educational organization, Snipes Farm’s “outdoor classroom” is located in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. The Snipes family, farming in Bucks County since 1688, has offered the use of the farm for the establishment of our 501(c)(3), a nonprofit educational organization.
Food & drinks
The beer making process at Great Barn Brewery is taken to the new heights of sustainability and environmental responsibility by growing their own barley, right here, in Bucks County Pennsylvania. Their philosophy of brewing is farm to glass. They promote the bond between nature, farming, and brewing by creating a distinctive beer that is truly a product of the soil. Their beers are brewed with crystal clear fresh water from their own private well. They grow their own barley, which is malted locally, and support other farmers by sourcing specialty ingredients such as hops, fruits & honey.
Great Barn Brewery will be on-site at Beaconfest to offer 3 draft beers, 3 drafts ciders, multiple food options, as well as waters and sodas.
