11th Annual Bearthday Celebration

Presented by: Spoonflower

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

A limited supply of meals will be available for sale (pre-sale orders are closed). The meals are from State of Beer with produce sourced from the Farm, and beverages from Trophy Brewing Company and Wine Authorities.

Connect with friends, tour the site, enjoy live music and plein air artists, shop our Pay-What-You-Can Farmstand and learn something new about bees, Holy Basil, microgreens and regenerative agriculture.

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

Join us for this free celebration, open to the public, rain or shine, from 10am-2pm and Dig Where You Live!

A Limited Supply of Lunches Will Be Available!

Bring your own chair and blanket to enjoy your meal with Farm Friends
