Celebrating Community: 2024 Fall Festival

As we button up the farm festival season for 2024, the Edible Schoolyard Stockton Community Farm would like to take a moment to pause and reflect on those who made these events not only possible, but so memorable. We extend heartfelt thank you to all the community members who attended and brought their neighbors, friends, students, colleagues, and families as well as oodles of gratitude to our incredible volunteers and dedicated community partners that showed up early to share the impactful work they are doing in our community, all, year, long.  We look forward to continuing to grow together in 2025.

Fall Festival 2024 Recap: There was a welcomed crispness to the air on the morning of Saturday, October 12 as we prepared to open our farm gates for the final festival of 2024. More than 400 guests were in attendance, and a record number of community partners supported the event, sharing resources with visitors and discussing the meaningful work they do in Stockton and throughout the greater Central Valley.This year’s Fall Festival also included a book swap, organic produce giveaway (CSA), harvest chili cooking demonstration (with samples!), complementary compost, face painting, games, a GirlTrek-led farm walk, pumpkin painting, and more! We hope to see you on our Boggs Tract neighborhood farm in 2025—and don’t forget to inquire about booking a field trip at education@edibleschoolyard.org.
