Red Hook Community Farm Harvest Festival

Hello Everyone,

I came across this great festival that will take place on Saturday, October 16 from 12-5:30pm, next to Red Hook Park.

This festival is a celebration of the urban agriculture and community farm. There will be a farmers market, where they locally grow produce and make hand-made products.

Therefore, I believe this will be a great way for us to network about our "Local Organic Produce Project", and also be able to receive some feedback on how to implement our idea on campus.

Plus, it's a free event, which includes free food.

I thought it would be a great event to plan for our group to visit.

Take care,
Bisma Sheikh
