DATE CHANGE: Sunday, April 23rd!
12th Annual Bearthday Celebration — Free Event
Presented by: Spoonflower, Murphy’s Naturals, and North Hills Innovation District
We’re thrilled to host our annual spring fundraising event — a dual celebration of our birthday and Earth Day! This year marks the twelfth 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 neighbor Standard Beer + Food with produce sourced from the Farm, and additional beverages from Wine Authorities, Standard, and Tribucha Kombucha SuperB flavors — available for purchase day-of.
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, sustainable practices, and regenerative agriculture.
Oh, and did we mention free cupcakes, while supplies last?
Join us for this free celebration, open to the public, rescheduled for Sunday, April 23rd from 10am-2pm and Dig Where You Live!
