Harvest Celebration

September 30 @ 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Hand drawn vegetables and leaves frame the Lauriston Agroecology Farm logo. The text reads: join us for our second annual Harvest Celebration, 2pm-5.30pm, 30th September 2023

Come and celebrate harvest and the land with us – on the farm this year we harvested a cornucopia of vegetables and our first grains! The event won’t be on the same scale as last year* but we will have music, food, crafts and activities for all to enjoy.

We are looking for Volunteers to come and help out on the day – if you would like to come and give us a helping hand on the day with set up/take down/refreshments please click here to sign up for helping run it on the day.

(*Last year’s Harvest Festival was the culmination of a whole season-long project with an extra farm hand, funded by Dandelion. This will be a little more homespun, but no less sweet for that.)
