Rancocas Nature Center will hold the “Sips and Sounds at Farm,” a beer and wine tasting fundraiser this fall. Join them for a fun fall evening of live music, great food, beer and wine in a unique, rustic setting, which will support the Rancocas Nature Center. After the Saturday morning farmers’ market packs up, the FRNC fall fundraiser will set up for the 4 to 7 p.m. event on Sept. 28 in the Burlington County Agricultural Center Barn located at 500 Centerton Road in Moorestown.
Spellbound Brewery and Cream Ridge Winery will bring the beer and wine while Michael’s Event Catering will provide the food. Live music will be provided by String Radio, who will entertain guests as they peruse silent auction items or join the 50/50 raffle.
