Fat Peach Farm Dance

Fat Peach Farm Dance

Join us at this agritourism event and dance to benefit our community through local food production! Get your tickets here!

Federal funding cuts have negatively impacted our food insecure neighbors and our farmers. Funds that organizations like Footprints Food Pantry, NH Feeding NH, Seacoast Eat Local and so many others rely on to make fresh, healthy, local food available for our community, haven been slashed, which means the producers who supplied that food are also impacted.

We’re gathering to celebrate our local food system and raise funds for Footprints Food Pantry to support their local food purchasing, keeping local food and dollars circulating in our community. 100% of proceeds after expenses will be given to Footprints.
