Since 1848, Snipes Farm, located about 30 mintues past Philadelphia in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, has been a horticultural landmark of the community, worked and maintained by over 11 generations of the Moon family (now Snipes).
Ornamental trees were the original product of the farm, with state and national champion trees that were planted in or around 1865 still on the premises today.
During the late 1800′s and early 1900′s, Snipes Farm became a leading propagator and grower of rare plants on the east coast. Large estates from Philadelphia to New York were planted with nursery stock from these grounds.
In 1953, the Snipes family started growing fruits and vegetables, and a retail store was added, by the turn of the decade, they had developed “Snipes Farm and Nursery” into one of the top 100 Garden Centers in the United States.
In 1960, they constructed a driving range, mini golf and pitch and putt course on the farm and after, opened Snipes Farm for use by many community groups, including Girl and Boy Scouts, Fresh Air Fund, and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.
Today, sister and brother team, Susan Snipes-Wells and Jonathan Snipes, manage the family farm. They hold a vision that Snipes Farm is a green jewel in congested lower Bucks County. A love of the land and a spirit of peace guide the Snipes family, and the many dedicated Snipes employees, as they work to keep the farm a beautiful and welcoming place for the public.
Snipes Farm is now entering its 7th year of hosting music festivals. They have hosted such notables as Blues Traveler, Keller Williams, Dave Bromberg, The Radiators, Railroad Earth, and many others.
The bucolic pastures and 150 year-old trees of Snipes Farm create a festival ambience that is quite magnificent. The convenience of being within minutes of major highways combined with the country atmosphere create a unique venue which is sure to please.
PlusVibes Productions is proud to be a friend and honorary caretaker of Snipes Farm, in association with Don Dix at GigGoals. We hope to share many musical events in the future.
