LATEST FROM THE FARM — Carrot Fest

Carrot Fest is a day when our community comes together to harvest thousands of pounds of carrots that will nourish us throughout the winter. On Saturday, September 26 from 10am-2pm we’ll get our hands in the soil and work side by side to pick, wash, and pack the harvest, and then celebrate with good food, music, local vendors, and plenty of community fun.

Celebrate the humble carrot with us at Ottawa Farm Fresh! Join a community harvest, roll up your sleeves, and help us gather thousands of pounds of carrots to enjoy all winter long. There’s also a U-Pick patch if you want to take some home yourself! It’s a morning of muddy hands, big smiles, and connecting with the land and community. We can’t wait to see you in the fields!

Join us for the Carrot Weeding Bee, one of the most important (and fun!) tasks of the season. These are the very carrots you’ll help harvest during Carrot Fest in September and now is their moment to thrive!

Join us on October 7, 2023 from 9am-3pm to celebrate the humble carrot and add your hands to the community effort that will help us harvest, wash, and store over 10,000lbs of carrots for the winter! Click to see the full schedule!
