14th Annual Bearthday Celebration

Join us for this free celebration, open to the public on Saturday, April 26th from 10am-2pm and Dig Where You Live! 

Rain Date: Sunday, April 27th

Presented by Murphy’s Naturals and Duke Energy

We’re thrilled to host our annual spring fundraising event — a dual celebration of our birthday and Earth Day! This year marks the fourteenth year of Raleigh City Farm’s founding, and we can’t wait to show off recent site improvements and gather together as a community. 

You can pre-order a tasty meal package that includes other goodies from our partners. We’ll be showcasing the menu of our Farmshare Partner A Place at the Table and their new food truck The Travelin’ Table & Catering – with produce sourced from the Farm, and your choice of beverage from Wine Authorities, Standard Beer + Food, and Tribucha Kombucha. There will also be a limited supply of meal packages available for purchase day-of. 

Gather with friends, grab a beverage, tour our expanded site, enjoy live music, get creative with hands-on art activities, connect with our Farm Team and check out our new tractor, learn something new about bees, composting, sustainable practices, and regenerative agriculture. 

Oh, and did we mention free cupcakes, while supplies last?
