🌻 This morning we installed "Gathering Light: Works by Marisa Benoit" at Mabee Farm Historic Site's art gallery.

🌅 Inspired by nature, music, and personal experience, Marisa Benoit's paintings evoke the sense of wonder found in the human experience. Light serves as a recurring thread throughout Marisa's work, and her paintings invite contemplation of the mystery of the beautiful world around us.

📍"Gathering Light" will be on display at Mabee Farm through the end of 2026. Come check it out!

Overcast skies are perfect for Mabee Farm. No hot sun whilst working in the garden, the animals are shaded, and the pictures are extra moody.

💫 Don't miss Noah Guthrie at the Barn at Mabee Farm tomorrow (Thursday) night!

🎸 An Americana singer-songwriter, Guthrie's sound has been described as possessing Chris Stapleton’s country/rock grit with the authenticity of Jason Isbell. The unique soulfulness in his richly textured voice and the unmistakable Southern influence in his music makes him capable of conveying emotion as only a handful of artists can in today’s musical landscape. Noah's latest album, BLUE WALL, honors the Blue Ridge Mountains where he grew up and still resides. Noah is passionate about making good, honest music - music that sounds like him - music that relates - music that makes the listener feel something.

📍 Thursday, August 27 at 7pm at Mabee Farm Historic Site, tickets $7

Noah has built a strong following through powerful live performances, social media and television, including NBC’s Today Show and Tonight Show, Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family, and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Noah was also a cast member of the hit FOX TV show, GLEE, and a semi-finalist on the 13th season of America’s Got Talent!

🌝 See you under the full moon!
