The Upcountry Oyster Roast
Apr 14 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

The Upcountry Oyster Roast has traditionally been a spring celebration to commemorate conservation achievements from the past year and to raise funds to support future land conservation and farmer outreach efforts. This year, we’re celebrating Athens Land Trust’s 30 years of preserving, protecting, and strengthening the fabric of the community.

Proceeds from this event will help ensure our future work of education and the stewardship of land for purposes of affordable housing, conservation, agriculture, and economic development.

Please join us at Athentic Brewing Company for live music from Bichos Vivos, delicious local fare, beer and other libations brewed right on site, and of course… oysters!

We’re also very excited to announce the release of Land Sakes Lager, a seasonal Pale Czech Lager created by the incredible team at Athentic in celebration of our 30th anniversary!
