Ervin-Stucki preserve contributes to the protection of the second largest watershed in the County (River Raisin), including over 1.2 miles of River Raisin shoreline on both sides of the river. Much of the property is made up of wetlands including forested floodplain, which dominate the site.

Here skunk cabbage, Jack-in-the-pulpit, and swamp white oak are found in abundance. Former farm fields in the preserve are slowly converting to grasses, forbs, and shrubs. At present, a small part of the property is still being farmed.

- Acres: 126

The very first event ever held at Cornman Farms was a fundraiser.  
  
So it feels only right that their very last one should be, too.  
  
On Friday, October 30, they invite you to join us for one final evening at the Farm, a special collaboration between Cornman Farms and Ann Arbor Distilling Company benefiting the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor.  
  
For the occasion, Ann Arbor Distilling Company will unveil a limited bourbon drop crafted with a rare heirloom corn grown right here in Dexter. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy beverages featuring AADC spirits alongside strolling appetizers prepared by the Cornman Farms culinary team.  
  
Friday, October 30, 2026   
6:00–10:00 PM  
$125 per person  
Limited tickets available; must be 21 or older  
  
Tickets are $125 per person, with proceeds benefiting the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor. Each ticket holder will also receive 20% off one bottle of an Ann Arbor Distilling Company product of their choice.  
  
This isn't a big farewell party. They're keeping the evening intentionally intimate, with a limited number of tickets and plenty of time to gather, eat, drink, talk, and enjoy the Farm together one last time.  
  
During the evening, we'll auction an experience created especially for this occasion:  
Bottle No. 1 of AADC's new bourbon release, accompanied by the barrel in which the bourbon was aged, plus a private Ann Arbor Distilling Company tour and tasting for 10 guests.  
  
There is only one Bottle No. 1—and only one barrel that made it.  
  
For more than a decade, Cornman Farms has been a place where people have gathered to celebrate, connect, and take care of one another.  
  
They can't think of a better way to close this chapter than exactly how we began it: bringing people together for a good cause.
