Harvest Festival at Jackson Whole Grocer to Celebrate Home Grown Abundance
The Jackson Whole Grocer will spotlight the farmers, brewers, bakers, and ice cream makers who spin flavor into our region. Growers, producers and organizations will come together to celebrate the bounty of fall at the Harvest Festival: Thursday, October 9, from 12pm-7pm. Free samples will be ripe for the picking - from the tap to the grill - festival-goers are invited to savor the deliciousness of home sweet home.
Neighborly producers will toss, pour, grill, slice, and sauté Home Grown specialties at this open-air community affair. The parking area in front of the store will come alive with interactive booths, cooking and energy demos, live music, and foods which show off this region's unique flavor. Festival-goers are encouraged to ride their bikes, bring their dogs, and make merry in all the ways that our community knows best. Kids decorate cookies, dogs get free organic treats too, and every sense will be indulged.  All of this in support of Home Grown producers.
The Harvest Festival underscores The Jackson Whole Grocer's commitment to local producers and the continued storewide effort to support economic vitality in the region and to be of service to the environment at large. The Jackson Whole Grocer's Earth Day Festival, in April, honored "this patch of the planet and beyond". This Harvest Festival is also rooted in the growing season, Home Grown producers, and the environment. Energy, recycling, nutrition, and farming experts will chat about wellness best practices as they relate to planet, product, and people. Everyone stands to profit as The Jackson Whole Grocer seeks to make this a zero waste day with the help of Jackson Community Recycling, Terra Firma Organics, a host of other community partners, and biodegradable consumables. The Harvest Festival also takes place concurrently with the Teton Wellness Festival to further elevate the spirit of mind, body, and planetary wellness this October.
For inquiries about the Harvest Festival contact The Jackson Whole Grocer, 307-733-0450, and visit online at www.jacksonwholegrocer.com.
