First Responder DAYS ⛑️🍺

🗓️ Tuesday, September 2 Sunday, September 14 | 2025
🚒
Benefiting Round Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue

First Responder Days will be celebrated this year at ALL the Experience Bluemont properties: Great Country Farms, Dirt Farm Brewing, Bluemont Vineyard and The Henway Hard Cider Barn!

This September, we’re raising a glass—and our gratitude—to the heroes who keep our community safe! Join us at Great Country Farms and all Experience Bluemont sister properties for First Responders Days 2025, where all first responders and their immediate families will receive complimentary admission to Great Country Farms: September 2 - September 14, 2025!

First Responders and their immediate families need only show their badges to Great Country Farms staff to get their special First Responder Days wristbands! These wristbands will allow wearers complimentary admission to Great Country Farms, as well as enjoy special discounts at Bluemont Vineyard, Dirt Farm Brewing, and The Henway Hard Cider Barn.

Additionally, we are honored this year to spotlight and support the Round Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue (RHVFR) with a fundraiser! Read on to learn about our First Responder Days activities . . .
