Come to the Boston Children’s Museum, Congress Street, on Saturday, October 2, from 9 am – 6 pm, for the first annual Boston Local Food Festival, put on by the Sustainable Business Network, with support from the USDA in combination with the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources. This festival will be an outdoor autumn celebration of the many virtues of locally grown and produced food. Held in Boston overlooking the historic Boston Harbor, it will showcase and support a cornucopia of food grown and produced in and around greater Boston and stretching across Massachusetts into other New England states. The festival will also provide opportunities for local food- related businesses, initiatives and nonprofits to share their products, services and programs. Festival attendees will be able to eat great-tasting local food, learn the benefits of fresh, sustainably grown/produced food, take home food from farmers and vendors, and on top of all this, have a lot of fun.
