Yesterday, I had the pleasure of going to UC Santa Cruz Harvest Festival. Events ranged from apple juice making and apple tasting to hay rides around the farm. As you walked up to the entrance you could hear the bluegrass playing. Light showers came and went throughout the day. It was an amazing time to be at the farm for a harvest festival. Watching the transition from summer to fall in front of our eyes while enjoying fresh picked corn and veggie kabobs from the field. We went on a tour of the farm, it was awesome to see what the students are doing. They have a six month apprentice program were students from all over can participate in. I strongly recommend you check it out if your interested in agroecology, or learning hands on how to feed a lot of people sustainably. There were things I thought the farm was missing. For example, there was no seed saving and no livestock/animals. So it wasn't a closed loop production, something I myself am looking for. http://casfs.ucsc.edu
