Harvest Fest returns to Cottage Grove Public Market on October 10 with a celebration of local food and the people who grow it. This year’s theme, “Celebrating the Women Who Feed Us,” puts women farmers and their contributions to the community at the center of the gathering.

Cottage Grove Public Market and Blackberry Food Co-op are planning an afternoon with:

• Local farmers and food

• Live music and art

• Activities for kids

The event takes place at 926 E Main Street. Specific performers, activities and admission details have not yet been announced; check the organizer’s Facebook event for updates.
