in the gym at the
Harwich Community Center

Out of an abundance of caution to protect public health, the 11th Annual “Meet Your Local Farmers” event has been cancelled. Each year, this event is free and open to the public allowing folks to kick-off the spring growing season, meet local farmers from around Cape Cod, and learn more about locally grown products. 

Click here for a map to the Harwich Community Center.

Farmers usually sell all sorts of interesting (and delicious) items. And a handful of farms offer Consumer Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) opportunities where folks can buy a subscription that allows access to farm fresh produce from May to October.
This fun event is brought to you by Harwich Conservation Trust (HCT) and the Cape & Islands Farm Bureau.
