Join for this free celebration, open to the public on Saturday, April 25 from 10am-2pm and Dig Where You Live!
Join us for Bearthday, our annual spring fundraising event that honors our birthday and Earth Day! This year marks the fifteenth year of Raleigh City Farm’s founding, and we’re excited to gather, reflect, and celebrate all of the ways we’ve grown. We’ve got special guests and surprise activities to mark this momentous milestone – be sure to attend and dig where you live!
Gather with friends, grab a beer, coffee, or glass of wine, tour our expanded site, enjoy live music, get creative with hands-on art activities, connect with our Farm Team and partners, and learn something new about bees, composting, sustainable practices, and regenerative agriculture.
Oh, and did we mention free cupcakes, while supplies last?
Rain Date: Sunday, April 26th
