Do you have any plans for this Saturday, September 11? If not, plan to be at the 4th annual Heritage Harvest Festival, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the West Lawn at Monticello.
Organized by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation and by the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, this celebration of local food, heirloom plants, and sustainable gardening will continue Jefferson’s legacy of vegetable cuisine, plant experimentation, and sustainable agriculture.
Last year, more than 2,700 people attended the family-friendly event. The 2010 festival will again feature tastings, workshops, hands-on demonstrations, children’s activities, and more. Attendees will also be able to meet local farmers, while local vendors will provide meals and snacks, as well as seeds, plants, and garden supplies.
For more information, see the Heritage Harvest Festival website.
