Storytime at the Farmers Market this Saturday and Preparing for Tomato Week

June 5th, 2025

The Harvest Green Lifestyle Team will be kicking off the summer with Storytime at the Farmers Market this Saturday, June 7th, from 10-11am. A special guest will bring The Maggie B. to life with a magical reading, followed by a treasure trove of games and hands-on fun for kids of all ages. This event is free to attend but we request that you RSVP here. We will be returning to our summer hours this Saturday so the market will be open from 9am-12pm. Make sure to stop by and browse all of the local goods from our vendors and pick up some fresh farm produce and flowers. We hope to see you there! 

It’s peak tomato season and we’re celebrating with two tomato-themed events next week! First up is our Tomato Talk on Tuesday, June 10th from 6-7pm. Farmer Nathan will lead this comprehensive class all about the beloved tomato. In addition to learning about all of the tomato varieties we’re growing and harvesting, attendees will have the opportunity to see our growing methods, learn about the care involved, and most importantly, sample some tomatoes! This class is a ticketed event that is open to the public but spots are limited. We highly recommend securing your spot here! 

As is tradition, we’ll close out Tomato week with La Tomatina Padre on Saturday, June 14th, from 10am-12pm. This event is exclusively for Harvest Green residents and invites kids of all ages to toss tomatoes at their fathers or father figures. In addition to the iconic tomato toss, you’ll have the opportunity to cool down with water activities and enjoy light bites made with produce from the farm. Plus, each dad gets one of our newly designed t-shirts to act as their tomato target! This ticketed event is for residents of Harvest Green only. There is only one ticket required per family which can be purchased here.
