We’re just a few days away from Seedleaf’s annual Fall Farm Fest.
The autumn celebration kicks off this Sunday at 1 p.m. with a educational tour of honey bees, followed by pumpkin patch activities, a CSA veggie sale, and a tasting of Chef Paula Edarna’s hearty, locally inspired chili.
The festival also features live music and family-friendly seasonal fun, including a farm-inspired photo booth.
Tickets can be purchased online and are $55 per person — kids under 10 are free.
Pro tip: Want to snag the perfect pumpkin? Head to the patch early — before the chili line.
