The 6th Annual HomeGrown Festival will be held on Saturday, September 7th from 6:00-10:00pm at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market.  This is a grassroots community event showcasing the best of our region’s locally grown food, drink, music and fun. The HomeGrown Festival showcases a vibrant and sustainable local food system and seeks to strengthen food security in Southeast Michigan. Chefs will offer small-plate portions ($1-$7) of creative dishes sourced from area farms. Tasting portions of dozens of Michigan's small producer beer, wine, mead, and hard-ciders will be available for purchase. In addition, the Festival hosts a line-up of popular bands, special activities for kids, a silent auction, an artisan market, tastings and chef demonstrations, and many opportunities for learning about the people and places that make up this region's diverse and productive foodshed.  For more information or to volunteer, please visit our website at www.homegrownfestival.org.
