In the spirit of supporting sustainable farming, local businesses, and conservation, Franny’s FARM FEST will donate a percentage of proceeds to FOOD CONNECTION, a group helping stop food waste and ease hunger in our community and WildSouth, who helps protect our natural resources.

Farm Fest has always been a blast in the past. Local bands paired with local food is always a treat. Maybe this year I’ll give camping a try. Always tempted but never end up going. If the weather’s nice, I don’t see why not!
