Half-Hour Portraits with Jessica Miller in the Tulip Barn @ AF
Feb 7 + 28, 2026
Channel your inner muse!
Globally-collected, Hudson River-based portrait artist Jessica Miller will visit Alchemy Farmhouse on Saturday 2/7 & 2/28 to create her famous Half-Hour Portraits in the Tulip Barn.
Celebrated for capturing likeness and mood, Jessica’s vibrant artwork has long been on Lauren’s wishlist—and she’s excited to share it with the AF community.
Schedule a siting for yourself or a loved one. These make an excellent holiday gift and something to look forward to in early 2026—and a keepsake to treasure forever.
Jessica’s work is featured in private collections across the world. One of her portraits graces the cover of Ann Napolitano’s HELLO BEAUTIFUL, her 2023 instant NYT Bestseller and Oprah’s 100th Book Club pick. In this instance, you can definitely judge the book by its cover!
Muses will sit with Jessica for 30 minutes in the Tulip Barn while she paints live. Guests are welcome to hang with us during the event and watch her artwork and the flowers.
Spots are limited!

Saturday March 12, 2022
10AM-12PM
Phillies Bridge Farm Project, New Paltz NY
Join Lauren Tamraz of Alchemy Farmhouse, Gardiner’s CSA flower farm, to learn about soil blocking and growing cut flowers. Soil blocking is a great way to grow vigorous, healthy plant starts, save on space and reduce plastic usage. If you’ve ever struggled to find space for all your spring seedlings before it’s warm enough to transplant to your garden, soil blocking can help! Lauren will also share information about growing cut flowers including key varieties for beginners and beyond, planning for a harvest from spring through autumn and best practices for long lasting blooms.
