Visitors will have the chance to sample harvest dishes, enjoy crafts, live music, visit the farmstand and bring the kids to partake in a variety of children’s activities!

The public is invited to create and submit their best chili dishes and pies in Greensgrow’s homestyle Chili and Apple Pie competitions.
