21st Annual Harvest Supper

About this event

Every August, the Franklin County community comes together to share the bountiful summer harvest! Farmers, local producers of goods, and talented chefs all donate their time, talent, and products to create an amazing meal served on the Greenfield Town Common! Enjoy a nourishing, chef-prepared meal made with ingredients donated by more than 50 local farms and producers from across the Pioneer Valley. This supper is made for neighbors, by neighbors! It takes a whole community to make a great community event. What began in 2005 with a vision from the late Juanita Nelson—a civil rights activist, pacifist, and fierce advocate for local food—has become one of Greenfield’s most cherished annual traditions. Harvest Supper is agrotourism in action—a true “Taste of the Valley” experience that draws people into downtown Greenfield to celebrate everything that makes this region so abundant and unique. No other event brings together this level of community collaboration and local agricultural richness. The meal is a gift to the community, offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. We welcome anyone to give what they can to help defray the costs of the meal.The “Really, Really Free Market” is another way community members can contribute to the Harvest Supper. Gardeners and farmers are welcome to bring any extra produce they have, and, as the name suggests, all of the produce is free to take home. Just bring your veggies to the town common between 4pm and 5pm.
