It is a free community event where anyone can register to pick up a bag of fresh, regeneratively grown produce from local farms—enough to feed a family of four. By purchasing produce directly from local farmers, the program nourishes more than 2,000 people each year while providing farmers with a reliable market for their end-of-season harvest. Registration will open in the beginning of November.
