About Terrapin Hill Farm...
Terrapin Hill Farm has been known throughout the state for it’s naturally-grown farm products including produce, plants, pastured poultry, and pastured heritage breed hogs. Currently, Terrapin Hill Farm provides the region with a fresh crop of high-quality, nationally recognized music events four times a year. The Terrapin Hill Festivals are unique agritourism events that blend three of the farm's objectives -- producing and promoting healthy food, showcasing top quality music, and developing community awareness.
What started out as small gatherings of guitar-pickers around the campfire has evolved into one of the nation’s premier music festivals. The Harvest Festival began in 2001 and grew to feature a wide spectrum of musical styles - including local, national, and even international acts - spread out over 4 days on 2 or 3 stages with no over-lapping sets.
"Turtle Days" festivals on the 4th of July weekend evolved into the Family Reunion, which is now the weekend before July 4th. The name reflects the tight bond of festival goers who enjoy this smaller event filled with great local and regional talent.
Due to the popularity of these events, and the fact that people just couldn't wait until June to get to Terrapin, the Cabin Fever Reliever was added in 2013. It has grown to become the biggest festival of the year because by April everyone is itching to get back outside, go camping, enjoy a bonfire, and listen to great music with their friends.
Halloween is our favorite holiday of the year and we couldn't resist throwing a little party every year, with a band or two, of course. Well the parties grew and grew and the Rumpke Mountain Boys, our favorite trashgrass band from Cincinnati, decided they'd like to turn the Halloween party into their very own festival, and we decided we'd let them. The original name of their festival was Snugglefest so we joined the two names and came up with Snuggleween, the Rumpke Mountain Boys' festival that happens on or near Halloween.
Because Terrapin Hill Farm is located in the heart of Kentucky's bluegrass region, and because bluegrass music is just that awesome, this genre is the main focus of the festivals. But you'll often find a mix of funk reggae, folk, and some jam bands thrown in there too, just to keep it interesting.
Other activities of the festivals include bonfires, drum circles, fire-spinning, yoga, food and craft vendors, and glassblowing demonstrations, and maybe even a hayride tour of the farm . The Chaplin River, which surrounds half of the farm, contains a swimming hole that’s perfect for cooling off on a warm day. The kids will enjoy the playground and occasionally there are activities planned just for them.
Come celebrate the Terrapin Hill Harvest Festival with us! Can't wait until September? Join us at the Terrapin Hill Family Reunion In June... and the Cabin Fever Reliever in April. We keep our ticket prices low and the fun quality high so you can do all three!
