Our fruiting vegetables are rolling out out of the fields with the farmers and greens fan the landscape at the farm at this time of year. Which means it must be Planter’s Ball time.
Planter’s Ball is an annual celebration at our farm to welcome the harvest season and bring our community together. This celebration also raises vital funds for the farm to continue its educational programming and reach more students.
Little ones can join us early in the evening for kids activities and playing while adults may enjoy live music and beverages from Saint Somewhere Brewery and Vintage Wine Cellars. Dinner will then begin at 7:00 with a Farm Fresh Salad, Eggplant Bake, and Vegetable Chili. Afterwards stay to chat over a drink, dance to the Sunset Bridge Band, and peruse the silent auction area.
We’d love to have you join us at this outdoor, tasty event. Get your tickets early at a discount by clicking here. Or volunteer with us in the evening and you still get to enjoy the festivities and help a great fundraiser. To volunteer please email volunteer@sweetwater-organic.org
