Join our Pasture Walk February 19, 2026. You can RSVP here.
Join us for a family-friendly experience celebrating the deep connections between food, land, and culture. At this special event, we’ll make sorghum together—from learning its history to seeing how it’s traditionally prepared—while exploring the rich ecology that sustains it. Sorghum—often called molasses—is a sweet syrup made from sorghum cane and was a common sweetener during early settlement days, valued for its rich flavor and versatility before refined sugar was widely available. For the Hamilton family, making sorghum is also a cherished family tradition, being passed on to the 5th generation.
You’ll walk through native grasslands, encounter bison on the landscape, and learn to identify native plants that have nourished people and wildlife for generations. Through stories, demonstrations, and time on the land, this event offers a chance to slow down, engage your senses, and better understand the role native plants and grasslands play in healthy ecosystems and resilient food systems. The event will also feature other activities such as old-time games and music.
The event is Friday, September 11th and Saturday, September 12th, 2026. A one-day ticket is $50, or $140 per family (2 adults and children). Please RSVP to this post and you will receive a $5 discount for an adult ticket, or $10 discount for a family ticket at the gate. Please RSVP for the day you will be attending. This is a CASH ONLY event.
Please note that no pets are allowed, as bison do not react well to wolves and their kin. Service animals are welcome, but we request that even these animals remain on a leash and do not participate in the bison tour.
The event will be in the Solo/Elk Creek community, but the exact location will be set closer too event day so check back for more information.
