Lakeville Farm Hosting First Annual Harvest Festival in October

Elliot Farm in Lakeville invites you to join the first annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 9 from 1 to 5 pm to celebrate the grand opening of the brand-new farm stand. 100 percent of event proceeds will be donated to charity to provide local families in need with essential groceries and farm-fresh produce in 2022.

Dee Elliot is the owner and a second-generation farmer at Elliot Farm. Her father, Ken Elliot, is the founder who retired in 2014. Dee and her brother have since taken over management of the farm which is now in its 28th season.

“As a small family farm, we could not be more grateful to the state for investing in the farm’s future by supporting the construction of our new farm stand, which allows us to serve more community members and expand our work to end hunger in the region,” Elliot said. “The Harvest Festival is in celebration of our brand-new farm stand, and we are proud to donate all event proceeds to our sister nonprofit to feed local families in need in 2022. We hope the community will join us for what’s sure to be a fun-filled family-friendly day on the farm!”
