24th Annual Harvest Celebration & Silent Auction
September 7, 2019 4:00-7:00pm

 

The 24th Annual Harvest Celebration & Silent Auction on Saturday, September 7, 2019, from 4:00-7:00pm was a great success!  THANK YOU to everyone for supporting our organization, mission, and event!

 

A special thank you to all our sponsors!

24th Harvest Celebration Sponsors and In-Kind Sponsors

 

Our annual harvest celebration is a chance for our friends, volunteers, staff and growers to acknowledge the hard work that went into another successful season and raise funds for the next season.  The event is always a fun time and takes place in the big red barn, under a big white tent and the lawn surrounding it.

 

We had great live music by local band, Wood Pile Pickers. Our food trucks, The Sweet Farm, Fireside Pizza, and CapMac, provided delicious food, which highlighted Red Wiggler veggies. Waredaca Brewing Company  returned with their famous farm-grown beer, and The Sweet Farm returned with their awesome non-alcoholic ginger beer. Guests were be able to purchase veggies from our market and bid on our fun silent auction.

We hope you can make it to our 25th Annual Harvest Celebration & Silent Auction in 2020!!
