From: The Food and Water FestivalIt's time to dust off your dancing shoes (and maybe some gardening gloves) because the Yuba Foothills Food & Water Festival is back for its second round – and it's gonna be even tastier than last year! Mark your calendars for September 28th & 29th, because the heart of the Yuba Foothills is about to explode with deliciousness.
Day 1 at the Alcouffe Center is all about supporting your local heroes: farmers, chefs, artisans, wellness gurus, and even some amazing non-profits. Think booths overflowing with fresh produce, homemade goodies, and enough good vibes to fuel a bonfire. Local vendors apply here today!
But wait, there's more! Day 2 takes things to the next level with workshops and tours at YES Charter Academy. Dive into the world of soil & health, the Yuba Watershed, fruit tree growing, cheese making, beekeeping and Jadam composting.
This festival is all about celebrating the incredible community we have here in the Yuba Foothills. It's a chance to connect with your neighbors, discover hidden gems, and, of course, stuff your face with delicious, locally-sourced food and drinks.
