Whiskey Treaty Road Show members Billy Keane and Chris Merenda with special guests will transport the audience with their artful blending of neo folk/Americana with indie rock and country. This concert is a fundraiser for The Harry Conklin Fund for Farmsteads in partnership with the Apple Tree Inn. Dinner and snacks (until 10pm) and full bar available.
When Colfax Farm lost its lease in 2021 it highlighted the land insecurity faced by many Berkshire farmers who are essential to shaping a resilient local food system in a time of climate change. The Harry Conklin Fund for Farmsteads was formed in response. Through community donations, the fund acquires farmland to lease to a local farmer for growing and housing. The first leaseholder will be Molly Comstock of Colfax Farms. Donations made at this concert will go directly to help save Berkshire farmland and find a new home for Molly Comstock and Colfax Farm.

The package will be auctioned off the night of the concert. The gift certificate will be valid for one year from May 27th. Terms and conditions apply. Exemptions are applied to select dates.
