Harvest Food Trail

Our NRF Harvest Food Festival is run each year, over the first weekend of May and is a local food event to help connect people with real food on real farms & honour our amazing producers. Each year Harvest Food Festival event organisers (all volunteers from local food businesses), showcase a series of local food tours, dinners & food experiences, from paddock to plate and seed to flower! The Harvest Food Festival offers the community & visitors an opportunity to connect with local food producers and celebrate our abundant local food – Northern Rivers style.
