We are excited to share an early look at our Harvest Festival Showcase Weekend, happening March 14-15 at Rippon Hall and locations across the district.

The weekend will feature two full days of workshops, talks, garden and foraging tours, celebrating local food knowledge, skills, and resilience.

Here’s a taste of what’s shaping up:

• Hands-on workshops (many still being confirmed) including cooking, herbal teas, cheesemaking, food preserving, seed saving, soil health, and more
• Inspiring talks such as From Forest to Plate with Sam the Trapman, and Setting up your veggie garden with Ali Soper (Your Garden Coach)
• Guided tours including native foraging walks, botanical garden tours, apiary visits, and more
• A gigantic community potluck at Rippon on Saturday evening, followed by a guided Ceilidh dance — a joyful celebration to bring everyone together

We’re committed to showcasing not only visiting speakers, but the incredible depth of knowledge held by our local growers, makers, educators, and practitioners.
