“CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE OF THIS YEAR’S CLASSES” 

WHAT;  A 4-day Music JAM campout at Northern California’s premiere “Beer Farm” just outside of the town of Dixon. Folks – from youth to seniors – bring their acoustic string instruments such as guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, fiddle, Dobro, and acoustic bass plus accordion and percussion while also enjoying singing and songwriting sessions. 

Ruhstaller is a working farm that grows its own hops, then brews, and pours a wide variety of beers (all available for purchase) on its 40 + acre spread. Our resident free-range chickens, ducks, sheep, and goats welcome customers with their well-behaved dogs! You read right – responsible dog owners are allowed to bring their dogs to the Hop Farm. 

Overnight accommodations – Most of us tent camp under the shade of the 35-acre walnut orchard, or stay in a vehicle camper.  NOTE; vehicle camping is limited to 15 units under 22 feet in length and is reserved on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. Those 10 spaces will go quickly and accompany an additional $100. fee. Register EARLY!!! 

Some Jammers prefer a local Airbnb, or motel or stay with local family/friends. There are three towns within 10 miles of the Farm; Dixon, Davis, and Vacaville. If you’re a local resident, you may elect to be a “Day-Tripper” and go home each evening. 

WHERE; 6686 Sievers Rd. Dixon, CA 95620 (right off I-80 between Dixon & Davis). The Brewery is open to the public during its regular hours and we’ll have plenty of designated areas for Jamming! Fall JAMboree will be our first “Quiet” gathering in that Sunday is the gentlest weekend day, attendance-wise. Monday is closed to the general public (we’ll have the entire farm to ourselves) and Tuesday & Wednesday it doesn’t open til 3 pm for a light weekday evening.  

HOW;  A wide variety of workshops will be held each day. Sessions include instruction on the art of jamming and playing well with others, in addition to songwriting, singing, ukulele, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, accordion, harmonica, and percussion. Mornings will include coffee, tea, and an opt-in potluck breakfast, a morning stretch & vocal wake-up. Afternoons will include more workshops and facilitated jams in different styles. Spontaneous workshops are encouraged. The evening social dinner break will include a different activity each night followed by more jamming by the fire pit and/or any of the campsites spread out in the orchard and around the farm. 

FOOD – Breakfast – Enjoy it on your own or, if you choose to be part of The Breakfast Potluck, please bring contributions to share each morning; fresh fruits, bread & pastries, granolas, cold cereals, yogurts, etc,…We will be providing frittatas from Yaya’s kitchen made from our chickens’ fresh eggs!

Lunch & Dinner -There will be a food truck on-site with home-style dishes available for purchase.

BYOF – Of course, you may want to bring food and beverages of your choice from home, as well.

There are flush toilets & drinking water, but no showers.  We think 3 days w/out a shower is doable for most folks. Remember, this is a farm…not a campground.  

COST; $275. per person. If you can pay a little more, it will help bring in some folks who write to us in need of a little financial assistance. Thank You! 

Cancellation Policy; You may cancel for any reason. If you cancel before midnight on April 15th, we’ll refund all but $25.00 of your payment, or…all but $75.00 if you cancel on or after May 1st. Please note we will be JAMmin’ Rain or Shine!

NOTE; SPACE IS LIMITED. Do not wait to register.
