I call this “Sunset at the Honey Ranch, in 8 photos.”
When we bought this property in 2020, this was a true horse barn. Horses on one side, guinea foul on the other. Dirt floor, open on 2 sides. Not a flower or pollinator in site. We’ve invested so much into this space, knowing that we could take these sturdy bones and create something beautiful.
This a place for curiosity, a place for laughter. A place for children to run free, chasing butterflies and fireflies. A place to connect to nature in safe way. Where no one laughs at your questions (they aren’t silly!) or expects anything more from you than just inquisitiveness and an open head and heart.
I’m so proud of this space we’ve built and continue to build. And while our Saturday mornings are bustling and busy, I want to show you the beauty of this place at night. Our sunsets are unmatched. The night sky out here is wide and expansive. All this, just ten minutes drive from East Austin.
As darkness falls over the Honey Ranch on November 7, join us for a very special Star Party. In this unique event, we will learn why we should be more mindful of the light we use at night, then we will gather in the pasture together, turn all the lights out across the Honey Ranch, and experience the joy of the night sky together for a very special star party.
And of course, y’all know it’s not a night out at the Ranch without a party. We will light up the Ranch once again with the warmth of a bonfire in our 15-foot firepit, and be soothed by the folk music of Rebecca Patek (sound up for a peek at her gorgeous sound)Plus, thanks to Texas Keeper C***r , every adult will enjoy a complimentary glass of their c***r.
And more! A special story time just for kids. Tarot readings by Megan Swinford . Add on an amazing farm fresh picnic by Eden East or a s’mores kit to maximize your bonfire experience!
This event is great for the whole family, and is designed to allow for an ‘early shift’ and a ‘late shift’ to ensure adults and families with kids alike can take advantage of the festivities.
A portion of every ticket will be donated to the good work of the Dark Skies Texas and the Austin Astronomical Society .
