Join Urban Roots and Dodge Nature Center for a special pop-up event that celebrates growing food, caring for land, and connecting with community!
🌱 Shop fresh, local produce grown by Urban Roots’ paid youth interns at their mobile farmer’s market.
🐄Tour the working farm at Dodge’s Shepard Farm Property—meet the cows, goats, pigs, and chickens, and explore how you could grow your own produce with a rentable garden plot.
Tours will begin at 3:30, 4:30, and 5:30 p.m. Farm tours are free, but preregistration is encouraged to help us plan a smooth experience: https://www.dodgenaturecenter.org/event/pop-up-produce-market-shepard-farm-discovery
Whether you’re a foodie, a family, or a future gardener, come get your hands (and maybe boots!) a little dirty with us.
