This year for the very first time, the harvest from our community will be featured at this event. We are hoping that everyone who has learned something with us about growing food, received a raised bed from us, and/or is super proud of their fall harvest this year will bring a sample of their harvest to UFI’s Food Day & Harvest Festival on October 17, 2026. We will facilitate a harvest swap we can share the fruit of our collective labors in community. We will provide UFI-grown produce as well so our growers can participate too!
