Foodlink Community Farm's Annual Fall Festival

Families and community members are invited Saturday to celebrate the season at the Foodlink Community Farm

Rochester, NY – The Foodlink Community Farm will host its 5th annual Fall Festival this Saturday. Families and community members are invited to enjoy free food and beverages, including cider and donuts, as well as games, pumpkins, giveaways, and opportunities to learn more about the farm.

This year’s festival will celebrate the first full year of growing at the Foodlink Community Farm since major renovations expanded its footprint last year.

The farm serves as a community garden for local residents, most of whom are resettled New Americans living in the Edgerton and Lyell-Otis neighborhoods. Foodlink also uses a portion of the property for commercial growing to support programs such as the Curbside Market and Foodlink Community Café and Kitchen.

Foodlink has operated a farm on Lexington Avenue since 2010. Over the past year, Foodlink has transformed the property into a welcoming community space where residents can grow, learn, and participate in local activities. The Foodlink Community Farm now supports more community farmers, nutrition workshops, school field trips, summer camps, benefits-navigation services, and a range of community events.
