WOLF JETT IS COMING BACK TO THE HIVE 🎸

They’re driving up from Santa Cruz to play our Anniversary Party, and we could not be more excited about it. Their whole catalog is original folk, soul, and Americana blended into what they call Cosmic Mountain Music.

Fair warning: this is music that’ll have you dancing, singing, and possibly howling by the end of it.

Saturday, November 14 · 11am–5pm. Free!

Comment EVENT for the full schedule.

Tomato season is wrapping up and now is a great time to plan for your spring crop!

Growing heirloom tomatoes at home is easier than people think and tastes incredibly better than tomatoes you can find in the store. Our tomatoes have been growing all season, and if you’ve eaten here the last few months, you’ve probably tasted them!

What are you growing next year?

MARIACHI BONITAS ARE BACK 🎺

They packed this place out last year and we’ve been waiting to get them back ever since. Dinorah Klingler started playing guitar in Mexico City at nine, performing on subways and buses with her sisters, and has spent the decades since building all-female mariachi ensembles, sharing stages with Stevie Wonder, Celia Cruz, and Patti LaBelle along the way. Now she’s doing it here in Sacramento, redefining what mariachi can be in a genre long dominated by men.

Join us Friday, October 30! Doors 5:30pm, music 6:30pm.

If you've never seen a palo verde "snow," it's worth the trip. The tree drops its yellow blossoms all at once and the ground underneath turns completely gold.

Ours bloom twice a year, which is pretty unusual, so you have twice the chance of catching this spectacular phenomenon.

Visit us to check it out!
