** ** Sunday, September 21: Feast of Fields and Organic Week **

The annual Feast of Fields harvest festival celebrates organic food, wine and beer.

In case you need another reason to attend, the proceeds go towards Growing Up Organic’s school programs and Senior Organic Gardeners gardening programs for seniors. It’s also a great way to kick off Organic Week, which runs September 20-28.
