12th Annual
Oak-Toberfest
Oak-Toberfest began in 2014 as a simple oak tree planting day at Far Field Nature Preserve. Over the past decade, this event has blossomed into a cherished community tradition, highlighting the transformation of Far Field from a former soybean field into a thriving oak savanna.
