  • Elk Ravine Farm Adventure

    Elk Ravine Farm Adventure

    The Standard Biergarten, 848 Washington St, New York, NY 10014, USA, New York, NY, US

    MUST REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events

    Trade the city for the countryside and spend a cozy fall day among some of the friendliest animals in the Hudson Valley. We're heading up to Elk Ravine Farm, a family-owned, 90-acre working farm tucked into the rolling hills of Amenia, NY, for a private, hands-on tour you won't forget.
    Home to more than 100 animals, Elk Ravine is best known for its herd of fluffy Scottish Highland cattle, but you'll also meet water buffalo, Belgian draft horses, yaks, miniature donkeys, Kune Kune pigs, Nigerian pygmy goats, and even white peacocks. Our visit kicks off with a horse-drawn carriage ride through the property before we get up close for hands-on animal encounters, plenty of photos, and yes, the famous "cow cuddles." It's a peaceful, joyful, one-of-a-kind escape, and a chance to see how this family's conservation-first approach is healing the land.

    THE MOVE – Weekly Movement Club by OUTSIDERS
    NYC has no shortage of run clubs. So we thought - let's do something different. THE MOVE is our weekly movement club designed to get the community together every Tuesday for something active, social, and just plain fun. Each week features a new partner, a new activity, and a new way to move - from workouts and training sessions to climbs, runs, and everything in between.
    Always good vibes. Always community first.
    Each week is hosted by OUTSIDERS founder Jeremy Asgari and the OUTSIDERS team, bringing the same energy you know and love from our adventures to this new weekly series.
    Please do not sign up if you might not be able to attend. If you need to cancel, please let us know 72 hours before the event. If you do not inform us, you will not be able to attend future THE MOVE events.
