Since 2010, the Del Norte & Tribal Lands Community Food Council has worked alongside Tribal Nations, local producers, schools, nonprofits, agencies, and community members to strengthen the local food system and support a healthy, equitable, and resilient North Coast. The Harvest Festival reflects this mission by creating a welcoming space where community members can celebrate the harvest, learn new skills, support local vendors, and connect with the people who grow and steward our region’s food.
See you all next Saturday!
