Six Chair Productions announced the addition of Trampled by Turtles, Martin Sexton, Joseph, and The Ghost of Paul Revere to the lineup for the third annual Festival at the Farm, presented by Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs at Prowse Farm in Canton September 15-16.

Festival at the Farm will feature two stages of nationally known artists alongside some of Boston’s best local acts. Amos Lee is set to headline on Saturday and Dawes will headline on Sunday, topping a lineup that also includes Mandolin Orange, Amy Helm, The Wild Reeds, The Suitcase Junket, Caitlyn Smith, Update Rubdown, Will Dailey, Jesse Dee, The Silks, and Ali McGuirk. Complete daily lineups are now available at www.festivalatthefarm.com.

“Festival at the Farm just keeps getting better!” said James Macdonald, founder of Six Chair Productions. “The addition of Trampled by Turtles, Martin Sexton, Joseph, and The Ghost of Paul Revere adds depth to what was already a stellar lineup. We are so pleased to partner with Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs to bring this family-friendly festival to greater Boston and we can’t wait for the weekend to begin.”

Festival at the Farm is a one-of-a-kind event bringing all ages together for live music, local food and drink, backyard games and an on-site farmers market featuring local farmers, nonprofits, and inspired craft vendors.

The festival has been designed with families in mind, teaming up with Kids Really Rock to present a very special kids concert each day. The Kids Really Rock All-Star Jam will feature Karen K. and the Jitterbugs alongside a who’s who of New England Kids musical artists. Artists for the Kids Really Rock All-Star Jam will be announced next month.

The Free Range Kids Zone, inspired by Pete and Gerry’s free range hens who have ample room to roam on the farm, will feature a host of interactive games and activities, including face-painting, storytelling, and magic shows, as well as hen petting with Pete and Gerry’s Organic hens and Meet-A-Farmer, providing families the opportunity to interact with a Pete and Gerry’s Organic farmer.

Commonwealth Cambridge owner and chef Nookie Postal will return to Festival at the Farm in 2018 to create a farm-to-table dining experience in the festival’s VIP area. VIP ticket holders will also enjoy preferred concert viewing and a private bar and lounge along with other amenities.

In addition to enjoying great music and activities onsite, attendees will help provide 100,000 meals to those in need. A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank, and Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs will donate one dozen eggs for every ticket sold. Fans will be able to take part in the fundraising by making online donations at ticketing checkout as well as through select activities at the festival.

Festival at the Farm takes place at historic Prowse Farm in Canton, a 44-acre property managed by the Friends of Prowse Farm, a nonprofit volunteer organization. The property is located at the gateway of the Blue Hills Reservation, public parkland that has been set aside for recreational use. Free parking is available on the Prowse Farm grounds.

Single day tickets, weekend passes, and VIP tickets are now on sale at festivalatthefarm.com/tickets.
