Harvest Fest Brings Free, Unique Fun to Area Residents

Wellspring Organic Farm and Education Center across river from Newburg will host Harvest Fest on Oct. 8.

Wellspring Organic Farm and Conference Center Harvest Fest focuses on local, organic arts and food. Most festivals are difficult for people who have eating allergies or are vegan or vegetarian. This festival has something for everyone, including meat (chemical free)!

It's free, lots of fun and it's from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 8. Wellspring Organic Farm is located at 4382 Hickory Rd., West Bend.

Great experience for families and adults! Over 300 attendees last year. Experience the beauty and tranquility of the farm, listen to great folk music, enjoy craft beers, wine, coffee, fresh artisian well water and juices; eat fresh, organic foods, go on hayrides, participate in a scarecrow costume contest and parade, listen to storytellers, shop the many vendors of local, fair trade, crafts, produce, goods and more!
