The open house takes place from 1-5 p.m., and lunch will be served at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. The cost for the open house is $17 and includes admission, lunch, tax and tip. A children’s menu will also be available for $10 for foodies under 12 years of age. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 812-923-9408.

Damn- Really wanted to go to this. We really love Judy, her cheeses and her place. Unfortunately the only committment we've got for October right now is the same Sunday at Aiden's school...

If any of you have the chance to go - I highly recommend the trip.

Nancy Ann got tickets for the two of us a week ago. After that great spread last month cooked by Chef Lee at Capriole, we are fans for life.

This is a great event and Capriole products are top shelf.
According to the website the $17 is for the cost of the lunch. If you choose to forego lunch or pack your own picnic (the website mentions that is OK) I do believe the event is FREE.

I went last year and the event was free with a charge for lunch. It was a beautiful farm with some of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. It makes for a great day out.
