$497.00
Sold Out

Hey Iron Farmer! We got you covered for the best 3 nights & 4 days of your summer slinging sand with your iron family in the Sand Studio. This is not a family package in the traditional sense of purchasing for multiple people - this package is for one person.

We are talking about you being a member of our Iron Family in the way that family farmers used to sweat it out making a living together. You will be the most involved in what comes with this package, yielding you the crop (art, experience, friends, etc) of the year! If we’re not already Iron Family, we will be by the time the dust + organized chaos of the Sand Studio settles!

If you need to add anything to your package, like a camping night + meals if you’re coming Wednesday, be sure to peruse the a la Carte + Merchandise categories before checkout.

This package includes per person:

  • 3 nights of camping (Thurs, Fri, Sat)

  • 8 meals

  • up to 200 pounds sand*

  • up to 30 pounds iron*

  • 1 art show ticket

  • 1 t-shirt

  • 1 pint

  • 1 patch

Camping

You are covered for 3 nights of camping in the Well of Dreams aka Tent City. Ideally, you arrive early enough on Thursday to get your hands dirty in the Pattern or Sand Studio + then join us in town for the third annual DOTF Iron Farmers Market Art Show sponsored by the local art center. In addition to Thursday night camping, the Family Farmer Sand Studio Package also includes camping for Friday & Saturday nights. If you would like to stay until Monday or come earlier, you can add camping nights individually by adding them to your cart through the a la Carte category before checkout.

Meals

Your package includes 8 raved-about family-style meals. We have included one meal for Thursday evening, 3 meals each for Friday & Saturday as well as breakfast on Sunday morning. If you need more meals, you can add them to your cart individually through the a la Carte category before checkout.

Sand, Chemistry & Iron

*Sand Studio Closes Friday at 11:59 pm CST

*Breaking at least 30 pounds of iron is also part of this package. Be sure to ask someone on site where/how to do this if you are not familiar with the procedure.

Your Family Farmer Sand Studio Package includes up to 200 pounds of sand with chemistry and up to 30 pounds of iron. We like to think of the breaking iron process as an initiation into iron casting, no matter how many times you’ve done it or not in the past, as well as a meditation on the imminent success of not just your piece, but for the safety of all involved throughout the weekend. If you know you will need more of either item, you can add them individually to your cart through the a la Carte category before checkout. If you don’t know how much sand you will need until you get building the thing, you can also purchase more sand & iron on site in your final checkout process.

Art Show Ticket

This years Iron Farmers Market Art Show is a month long feast for eyes + souls. The Closing Reception is Thursday evening (July 4th) + we want you there! In addition to breaking iron, this show can also be a form of initiation into the life altering weekend before you. Even though it’s the Closing Reception of the show (which opens June 7th) consider it your Opening Ceremony to the weekend. It’s in downtown Decorah at the local art center, ArtHaus, from approximately 7-9 pm.

T-shirt

Customize it + wear it with pride, Iron Farmer! You are part of a movement to help us bring more awareness + accessibility to this art form while creating community + food for souls.

Pint

This pint is your ticket to the beverage trough during your stay. There will be a variety of alcoholic + non-alcoholic beverages to choose from as well as coffee + unlimited fresh, cold well water.

Patch

A 2026 commemorative, limited edition patch is included in your package as well.
