Celebrating Local Foods
We invite you to a summer/fall seasonal series that follows progress in the field...
Raleigh City Farm, with much community-support, has made significant progress in 2014. This progress is visible on our site, at Raleigh City Farmers’ Market, throughout our community and still much is happening behind the scenes that would take more than a blog post to effectively share...
Introducing...
A Celebration of Local FoodsA series designed for Raleigh and Regional local food communities to WORK, SHARE and CELEBRATE efforts building a robust local food system.
- Time to reap the mental and physical health benefits of working together, being outdoors, physically active and building community with soil under our fingernails.
- Time to share progress through tours, stories and songs that celebrate local foods, farm entrepreneurs, culinary artisans and farmers’ markets making local foods more available.
- Culminating with time to celebrate through harvest season festivals, carnivals, dinners and a centennial celebration of the communities that support sustainable, local foods.
