We almost forgot that this weekend is Seattle Tilth’s annual Harvest Fair, a wonderland of fresh veggies, workshops, informational booths and live music, all going on Saturday, September 12, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. behind the Good Shepherd Center (4649 Sunnyside Ave N). Says they:
There will be free hands-on activities to engage people of all ages. People can meet urban livestock such as backyard chickens, goats and bees, and ask their owners questions. The art of canning at home will be taught by Master Canner/Food Preserver Jessica Dalley and PCC Cooks will demonstrate cooking with fresh ingredients. Master Composters will be showing people how to compost food scraps and yard waste in the demonstration garden. For a small fee you can also take a class on how you can turn your yard into a veggie garden in “Lawns to Lettuce” or how to grow vegetables this winter (pre-registration is required online). […]
The Harvest Fair offers a lively organic farmers marketplace. This is a great time of year to buy in bulk from local farmers and support their work. Also available will be locally grown plants including fall veggies, natives, ornamentals, and fruit bearing shrubs, gardening supplies, books and locally made goods. Food vendors specializing in fresh local ingredients will be serving up tasty meals and snacks. Activities in the Children’s Garden will engage the young ones. Local organizations and businesses will provide opportunities for people to learn how they can get involved with issues such as energy conservation, transportation, land usage, health, food, human rights, green building, education, horticulture, and reusing building materials. And full lineup of exciting local folk music will keep things lively all day.
The weather is supposed to be stupendous, so it sounds like a great way to close out the summer. See you there!
