Habitat For All Fall Festival

Grow, Discover & Preserve Local Food! Fall is harvest season, and what better time to learn about growing, discovering, and preserving local food. That’s the theme of Mahoosuc Land Trust’s inaugural Fall Festival on September 28 and 29 at Mahoosuc Land Trust’s Valentine Farm Conservation Center. Join us for the afternoon and experience John Bunker's famous apple display and get your apple questions answered. Visit John Gonter, wild foods chef and taste bear, turkey, deer and mushroom based dishes. For a more in-depth opportunity, you can watch salsa and sauerkraut being made, or listen to Jesse Stevens talk about his work trialing novel fruits for Maine such as figs and pawpaws. And there will also be plenty of activities for kids. The activities wrap up with a community supper at 4 pm. People are encouraged to bring a dish to share. To minimize food waste, advance registration for both days is required. Again, there is no charge to attend, but donations are appreciated. More information and registration are at mahoosuc.org/fall-festival.
