It’s harvest season at the awesome, freeway-rustic Alemany Farm on the south side of Bernal Heights, and co-founder Jason Mark is extending an invitation to all Bernalese to join the harvest festivities on Saturday:

11th ANNUAL ALEMANY FARM HARVEST FESTIVAL
Saturday, October 24th, from 11am to 5pm

Join Bernal Neighbors and Folks from Throughout the City for Alemany Farm’s 11th Annual Harvest Festival!
This community gathering has become a favorite fall tradition as we enjoy the warm October sun before we head into the shorter, cooler winter days. All are welcome! Bring a friend…make new friends…catch up with old friends…and have some fun at the farm. It’s free!
The day includes:

– Farm tours (11:30 & 2:30)
– Garlic planting
– Herb crafts
– Face painting & pumpkin patch for kids
– Live acoustic music from Duo Pizzicato (1:30)
– Potluck Picnic & BBQ (1pm-ish): Bring a side, snack, or dessert to share. Plus we’ll have roasted pig; BBQ (w/ veggie options); beans & rice; and fresh farm salad. (Bring your own plate and utensils, if possible, to help reduce waste.)

The Farm is located on Alemany Boulevard, and just down hill from the St. Mary’s Recreation Center on Crescent. More details at AlemanyFarm.org.
