Family Farm Days at Growing Hope Urban Farm, from 5 to 7 p.m., October 7, and 10 a.m. to noon, October 14, is a chance for everyone to tour the farm, enjoy cooking activities and free veggies for a fun, interactive visit. Attendees will learn about ways we can grow our own food, have fun in the garden and come away with some outdoor learning activities to do at home.

As a safety precaution, all farm visitors must wear a mask or face covering over their nose and mouth and maintain a six-foot distance from anyone that does not live in their household.

 

Admission is $20 for families of up to four people or free for those eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Location: 922 W. Michigan Ave., Ypsilanti. For more information, call 734-786-8401, email [email protected] or visit GrowingHope.net.
