Community Harvest Project has announced its 4th annual Harvest Home festival featuring live music, kid’s activities and traditional food and drink. Harvest Home will take place on Sunday, November 1st from noon to 4:00 pm at the Brigham Hill Community Farm, 37 Wheeler Rd., North Grafton.

The event will celebrate a record harvest season which enabled CHP to grow, harvest, and deliver over 47,000 pounds of fresh produce to the Worcester County Food Bank for distribution to those in need in Worcester County.

The annual festival is being held as a celebration of the year’s harvest of fresh vegetables and to raise funds for the coming year’s growing season. The volunteer-based farm is one of the principal sources of vegetables for the Food Bank, which distributes them to many of the 200 programs they serve throughout the county.

Featured at the event will be:
•Local recording artists Jubilee Gardens, Solomon Murungu, and Ed Melikian and Jack Zarzatian.
•A Scarecrow Contest with attendees judging creative and entertaining scarecrows assembled by local community groups.
•Broad variety of kids’ activities, including seasonal crafts, pony rides, and face painting.
•A farm equipment display and beekeeping demonstration.
•Hay rides
•A variety of seasonal foods.
•Rides in the ReMax hot air balloon (weather permitting).

From the Mass Pike: Take Exit 11 (Millbury, Rt. 122), turn right onto Rt. 122 South. Proceed a little over 2 miles, during which time Rt. 140 will merge in from the left, and you will then pass under the Mass Pike.
At the base of a down grade, look for Wheeler Road on the right. If you reach the Stop & Shop you have gone too far. Turn right on Wheeler Road.
Follow Wheeler Road up the hill until near the point where it ends at North Brigham Hill Rd. You will see the farm on the left.
