2024 Fall Festival/Open House
On Saturday, September 21, 2024, HCSL hosted its first ever Fall Festival/Open House at its property in Jacona, NM. Over 100 people made nature bracelets; created their own personal pizzas cooked in the horno; toured the gardens, orchard and pond; listened to live bluegrass music provided by High Lonesome Highway; bid on a variety of paintings, sculpture and excursions in a silent auction; bought 2025 calendars featuring artwork from our 2024 Day Programs; and pressed cider from HCSL’s apples to take home. It was so much fun, HCSL has decided that the Open House will become an annual fall event!

As in previous years, the evening included a harvest dinner featuring fruits and vegetables from HCSL’s gardens and orchard, and tours of the gardens, orchard and pond. This year, the delicious fall dinner was prepared by chef, Fawn Ciprian of HolyWise Wellness. A special thanks to Matthew Hecht and Pritpal Khalsa for providing wonderful bluegrass music. It was a spectacular evening filled with friendship, celebration, good food and lots of laughter!
