Harvest! The Festival Returns
On October 6-7, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m, the Blandford Nature Center & Farm and Mixed Greens are proud to present Harvest! The Festival. Those curious or interested in health, organics, the natural world and sustainability, are encouraged to attend and enjoy a free weekend-long event featuring harvest activities throughout the center and for the first time in 20 years-The Blandford Nature Farm. Highlights include educational activities, fresh farm markets, food demonstrations, ecology tours, local music and vendors of ecologically sensitive and healthful products. Activities are family friendly with special hands-on offerings for children.
Harvest Festivities kick off at The Blandford Nature Center with an evening outdoor celebratory fundraiser on Thursday, October 4 at 6:30 p.m. The event will include wholesome local food from area chefs and farms and local music. A silent auction of exclusive items is planned to raise additional funds for the joint programs. The event is ideal for community members and leaders to network and contribute to the "growing" cause.
The Harvest dinner is $75.00 and corporate sponsorships are available. The Blandford Nature Center & Farm is located at 1715 Hillburn NW in Grand Rapids. For more information, dinner tickets or sponsorship and vendor opportunities call 616-735-6240.
