After 15 years as a derivatives and bond trader, Dean Carlson decided it was time to get a real job. He found a 350-acre farm in northern Chester County that was in foreclosure after being slated for development. Dean bought the farm in 2010 and spent two full years doing extensive renovations to the buildings and land. In 2012, the market and café at Wyebrook Farm opened to the public.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and some light refreshments will be available. Program begins at 7:00 p.m.
