Event Description

Join FBEA network members at the Hawthorne Valley Fall Festival for a potluck and discussion.

The HVF Learning Center will be hosting this event for interested farm-based educators. The HVF Fall Festival (in its 18th year!) draws over 2,000 people so it will be a busy day.

If folks ask for the Learning Center when they arrive, they can drop off their potluck offering at the center where we have both a refrigerator and the possibility to heat up food in our kitchen. We will take a tour of the farm at 11:30 and eat  by 1PM with a round table discussion to follow (all at the Learning Center). People would be done by 3.

To learn more about Hawthrone Valley Farm and the festival visit their Website.
