Program Description
Event Details
Less than a festival but more than an ordinary day!
Join in the fun while sharing the magic of okra - one of Florida's forgotten vegetable treasures. There will be delicious samples of okra dishes, a cooking contest, okra recipe books, and some fresh okra for sale by local growers. Come for the seasonal food and learn about sustainable living. Besides enjoying this local food-sovereignty event and agrarian celebration of local produce, the public is encouraged to see what a zero-waste event looks like and learn about compostable dining materials.
Presented by New Port Richey FarmNet with support from the City of New Port Richey, Ecology Florida, the Environmental Committee of the City of New Port Richey, Keep Pasco Beautiful, Rose’s Bistro, and volunteers committed to agrarian ideals and practices.
