conclude at 6:00pm. Attendees can visit any of
the Lakeshore Harvest Country’s
participating farms/farm
markets in any order.
Family Farm Fest is a family-oriented event that
offers entertaining, farm-based activities for
all ages. Hands-on activities, games
for kids, craft projects and demonstrations, wine tasting and
u-pick
opportunities are available at several participating farms
and farm markets. Food
options include a corn
roast with brats, fresh baked goods,

“This event is going to be fun. It is a
great
opportunity for the public to enjoy the rural countryside while
celebrating and learning about many
Michigan grown and Michigan
made items”, says farm owner Dawn Soltysiak, Khnemu Studio on
Fernwood Farm.
“This is a great chance to see farms
in operation,” project manager Julie Cowie says. “We
have many special
activities planned to show people of all ages how fruits and
vegetables grow, what farm
animals need to thrive, and how fresh
produce moves from the field to the kitchen table.” Ample vege-
tables and
fruits, jams, honey, and syrups will be available for purchase,
along with u-pick blueberries,
raspberries, and some early
varieties of peaches.
