    The Firefly Farm Day: Building on Tradition

    Every spring, before the first seed goes into the ground, our whole team comes together for Farm Day — a tradition we look forward to all year. Front of house, back of house, and leadership alike volunteer their time to prep the beds, plant the season's first starts, and get Firefly Farm ready to grow. There's nothing like getting your hands in the dirt alongside the people you work beside every shift. Farm Day is how we kick off each growing season together, and it's where our whole team understands, firsthand, exactly why we're so proud of what we serve.
