Poughkeepsie Harvest Fest 2023

The Poughkeepsie Farm Project will be celebrating the connection of food, farm and community with their fall fundraiser, Poughkeepsie Harvest Fest 2023! This event will take place from 3 – 7pm in and around the Environmental Cooperative Barn on the Preserve. Bring your family, your appetites, your dancing shoes, and a picnic blanket to this fun autumnal afternoon!

 

This event (formerly known as Soup-a-Bowl) features a wide range of hyper-local Hudson Valley chefs and restaurants, artists and entertainers every year. Chefs donate their time to create delicious and creative soups with PFP produce. All-you-can-eat soups are shared with guests with hearty bread and sweet treats.

The headliner entertainment this year will be Hudson Valley-based reggae band, The Big Takeover, and singer/songwriter callie mackenzie.

Offstage, hand-crafted ceramic bowls generously created for this event by Fall Kill Creative Works’ Clay Works & many independent artists will be available. We would like to make a special shout out to these artists for their support of this event!
