2020 Food Festival Videos & Demos
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to welcome the surrounding community to the farm this fall for our fifth annual Monocacy Farm Food Festival. But we are grateful to all who stepped up to support the event as it was held entirely online this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Donors, volunteers and patrons really dug in and helped us to raise nearly $10,000 in support of our programs. As part of the weeklong online event, we prepared a handful of educational videos and demonstrations about the farm and our friends.
