Get ready for a day of hands-on learning, fresh produce, and family-friendly activities at Fall in the Farm at Fairplex on Saturday, November 23, 2024. This free event invites visitors of all ages to experience the wonders of agriculture up close. From gardening workshops to fresh tastings and engaging activities for kids, Fall in the Farm is a must-visit event that brings the countryside to the city.
Hosted at the picturesque Farm at Fairplex, the event offers a chance to explore how food is grown, even in urban settings. With autumn’s bounty on full display, attendees can learn practical gardening tips, watch demonstrations by Master Gardeners, and discover how to grow their own garden, no matter their space or skill level. Visitors can also explore booths featuring wellness products and sustainable gardening resources, making it an excellent opportunity to connect with local experts and resources.
Children will participate in hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and creativity while learning about where their food comes from. Meanwhile, food enthusiasts can enjoy tastings of high-quality olive oils, vinegars, and dairy products, highlighting the flavors of fall.
Adding to the excitement is the inaugural Pomona Classic Livestock Show, a collaboration between Fairplex and Cal Poly Pomona’s Livestock Show Team. This two-day showcase celebrates local talent in the livestock community, with events open to the public. On Saturday, the Goat and Sheep Shows take center stage, while Sunday features Dairy Goats and Beef Cattle competitions.
Animal lovers will also enjoy a special visit from the Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A., who will be on-site Saturday with adorable, adoptable dogs. From 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., attendees can meet these friendly pups, learn about fostering and volunteering opportunities, and support the Humane Society’s mission to find forever homes for local animals in need.
For those looking to give back, LifeStream Blood Bank will host a blood drive during the event. Donations will directly support Fairplex’s educational programming, and all donors will receive an e-gift card as a token of appreciation.
