The first annual Harvest Festival at the Youth Garden Project drew community members for games, music, and local farm-fresh food over the weekend. The event featured a blue ribbon produce exhibition with categories like ‘weirdest,’ ‘most anatomically correct,’ and ‘biggest.’ Event organizers called it a success, one that furthered YGP’s mission to connect people with food from farm to table. And later in the news, our partners at KRCC report that the spread of cheatgrass could make wildfires worse in the West. Tune in.
