Tryon Farm Trail 5/10/50K Run
May 18, 2013 (PAST EVENT)
Thank you to all who participated in, volunteered for, and sponsored our second annual Tryon Farm Trail 5/10/50K RUN!
The Tryon Farm Trail is a 10k loop through majestic grasslands, sloping dunes and towering beech and oakwood forests. Approximately 60% of the course is on densely wooded single track that follows existing deer paths. The remainder of the trail brings you through protected native grasslands of prairies and hayfields. At one point, the course takes you over a sod-roofed modern house that has been built into the landscape. The trail also includes a couple of small water crossings so expect to get your feet a bit wet and muddy.
Wine Tasting by Candlelight
March 23, 2013 (PAST EVENT)
Thank you for joining us in celebrating International Earth Hour in style!
Tryon's public environmental non-profit organization Tryon Farm Institute and Shady Creek Winery in Michigan City presented a unique wine tasting event by candlelight, featuring pairings of local meats and cheese.
The event was a benefit to the mission and ongoing work of the Institute to connect human and natural communities through a diverse program of education, outreach, and idea exchange. Learn more at TFInstitute.org

Tres chic! Another beautiful pop-up dinner in the Tryon barn is in the books! The rules were simple: (1) Wear white! (2) Bring white!.... You brought your own tables, chairs, foods, and settings. We brought the barn! The gorgeous weather was divine!
This year there was a $10 suggested donation to offset the modest hosting costs and to help fund the terrific conservation and education work by the non-profit Tryon Farm Institute. Thanks to all who attended and supported!
See you next year?!
