In other news–snow was falling, pumpkins were flying in the air AND rolling on the ground from the Pumpkin catapult and Pumpkin bowling activities at Grant Farms Harvestival. Shelley was honored to be the keynote speaker and discuss the film amongst such dedicated people.
Did you know that Grant Family Farms runs the largest CSA in the country with over 3,000 members?! How great is that?! Antonio, our ever diligent Director of Photography, also came to Harvestival and filmed the entire event! We’ll be making into a short video for their website and will share it with everyone soon…
Now, I know I mentioned snow, but oh boy–was there snow! So much so that the following weekend they had a Harvestival THAWED! So for those who didn’t get to join the festivities the first time or those who wanted a double dose of music, fun and food, you got your wish.
