For the 6th year in a row, we’re inviting you to a bash at our largest food growing site (which also has an interesting history).

The Rivoli Bluff Farm and Restoration Site includes vegetable growing plots, beehives, a gravel bed tree nursery, community gardens, fruit trees, an Indigenous Medicine Garden, and a Children’s Garden.

We hope to see you on September 12 for a fun, open house-style event including:

• Free produce giveaway supported by Xcel Energy for their Day of Service
• Free backpacks with school supplies from Greater Twin Cities United Way
• The Free Book Buggie (11am-1pm)
• Tiny Footprint Coffee samples
• Farm tours
• DJ Kool Akiem
• Children’s Garden activities, including free face painting provided by A Touch of Magic Entertainment
• Beautiful views of our gardens and downtown St. Paul
• Community organization information tables, including:
  • Face2Face
  • Metro Food Justice Network
  • MSP LTER
  • Patagonia St. Paul
  • St. Paul Public Library/Metro State Library
  • Trilingua Cinema
  • Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity
  • Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi
  • Wilderness Inquiry

Please note that this event takes place on a working urban farm site with uneven, unpaved ground. A portable toilet is available onsite. The event is free to attend, but pre-registration through this site is appreciated so we know how many people to expect.
