You're inited to Wakeman Town Farm Harvest Fest

Wakeman Town Farm has set the date for Harvest Fest, its third-annual Farm-to-Table event for Saturday, September 13 at Wakeman Town Farm. Held on the farm grounds and under a festive tent draped with twinkling lights, Harvest Fest is a magical evening, featuring plentiful hors d 'oeuvres and entrees, including local meats, artisanal cheeses, seasonal produce-generously contributed by local farmers and prepared by rock-star chefs. There will also be pouring wine, beer, Prosecco and signature cocktails...and rocking to a live band. In addition, there's a live auction.

"This event is special to us, as it brings together the community, as well as local sustainable restaurateurs and food producers for a night of fun under the stars," says Farm Steward Mike Aitkenhead. "We work hard all year creating programs, tending gardens and running the farm, and this is a great way for us to celebrate all our efforts and show off the farm. This year, the funds we raise will go towards putting a new roof on the historic farmhouse and creating a classroom space for campers and students."

IT'S A FUN-RAISER!

This event will raise funds to make improvements to the farm (a new roof), and support various youth programs, including summer camps and  homesteading workshops. Guests can bid on fun "egg-buster" prizes and various auction items, including a stay at an exclusive waterfront home in Big Sur, a private four-course dinner party at Sugar & Olives for six featuring Chef Jon Vaast, luxury BMW racing bikes and golf gear, and a luxe getaway for two to The Delamar Southport with dinner at Artisan Restaurant. 

Tickets ($150 per person) are open to the public (adults only) and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  To purchase, visit the Wakeman Town Farm Facebook Page or click here.
