You can skip the meal and join us from 7:30-9:30 PM for dancing and dessert in the Hay Barn for $25. Parking Please plan to park in lots 115/116. A shuttle to the event will be available for those with limited mobility. Getting to lots 115/116: Continue on Bay Street as it becomes Coolidge Drive. Continue up the hill on Coolidge and turn right at the Ranch View/Carriage House Road stoplight into the Carriage House/Campus Facilities parking lot (Lot 116). The Farm is a 5-minute walk across the street from the parking lot. Walk across Coolidge and follow the signs that say Hay Barn. Stay on Ranch View Road and turn right into the Hay Barn parking lot. Walk up the hill from the back of the Hay Barn parking lot. Proceed through the two gates to reach the UCSC Farm and the event check-in table. Attire Like many farms, the terrain at the UCSC Farm can be uneven and dusty. We recommend wearing shoes you can walk confidently in. Fall evenings on the farm are the perfect opportunity to layer—a sun hat and scarf would be perfect accessories for the event—and, if you are joining us for the barn dance portion of the evening, some boots would make great footwear for the evening. About our Chef This year’s menu is prepared by Chef Ty Pearce of Busy Bee Cafe and Catering in Capitola.
