“Fall at Ferguson’s is always about bringing people together at the farm to create traditions and memories with families and friends that bring visitors closer to the food they eat,” said Andy Ferguson, co-owner of Ferguson’s Family of Farms. “Community Harvest Days combine this focus with our support for the communities we call home. We’re excited to give our visitors an opportunity to enjoy a day with us while helping support organizations doing meaningful work in our surrounding communities.”

Friday, September 18: Supporting Kids & Families

The first Community Harvest Day will support the Boys and Girls Club, which uplifts children and teenagers through academic, leadership, health, career, and recreational programs. Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities, while Ferguson’s Eau Claire proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Chippewa Valley.

Friday, October 9: Celebrating Agriculture

Day 2 concentrates support on the future of agriculture with donations to 4-H, which is dedicated to youth education and leadership in farming, driving an appreciation for where food comes from and the people who make it possible. Visitors to Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest location will support a donation to Scott County 4-H, while visitors to Eau Claire will support Eau Claire County 4-H.

Friday, October 23: Fighting Hunger

To wrap up the fall season and look forward to the holidays, Ferguson will focus its final Community Harvest Day on food access. Visitors to Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest on October 23rd will support the Jordan Area Food Shelf, while Eau Claire visitors will support Feed My People.

Community Harvest Days are part of Ferguson’s ongoing commitment to being a destination for fall family fun, not just a world-class apple orchard. For more information about Ferguson’s Family of Farms and to purchase admission, visit fergusonsorchard.com.
