Presented by 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 lucky thirteenth 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, including a tea towel from Spoonflower. We’ll be showcasing the menu of an exciting newcomer to the Raleigh restaurant scene — Figulīna — 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.
Connect with friends, grab a beverage, tour the site, enjoy live music and plein air artists, get creative with our family friendly art activities, shop our Pay-What-You-Can Farmstand and learn something new about bees, composting, 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 on Saturday, April 20th from 10am-2pm and Dig Where You Live!
Rain Date: Sunday, April 21st
