Nine Farms Participating in Annual Kawartha Farmfest
Kawartha Farmfest is returning for the nineteenth year on Saturday October 2, 2021. The self-driving tour features 14 stops, including nine operational farms, local farmers’ markets and Kawartha Dairy. Health and safety protocols will be in place to ensure the safety of participants.
Kawartha Farmfest is a family event that connects people to local food producers. It showcases some of the region’s agricultural producers, sellers and retailers and provides a safe and welcoming hands-on experience. During the one-day event, participating host farms open their doors to provide tours and answer questions about their operation. Kawartha Farmfest is both a celebration of agriculture and brings the community together to explore, learn and grow.
“It’s exciting to see that interest continues to grow in Kawartha Farmfest,” said Kelly Maloney, Economic Development Officer for Agriculture. “Interest in agriculture is on the rise and it could not come at a better time. The City of Kawartha Lakes has so much to offer when it comes to local food producers.”
