The Hoes Down Harvest Celebration
The mission of Hoes Down Harvest Festival is dedicated to honoring and promoting the knowledge of agricultural arts and sustainable rural living through inspiration and education. However, the realization of our mission extends beyond just the weekend of fun and education. As a fundraiser, the event generates valuable resources for local and statewide organizations working on projects which benefit sustainable agriculture and rural communities.
