PHOTO GALLERY: Earth Day celebration draws families, vendors to Jamesport
Sustainability and community were on the menu Saturday as local farmers, food producers and families gathered at Golden Acres Organic Farm in Jamesport.
Hosted by Slow Food East End ahead of Earth Day on April 22, the event featured farm stands, fresh flowers, locally made goods and a book and artisan market, along with face-painting and hands-on activities for kids that connected visitors to the region’s agricultural roots.
Scenes from the overcast afternoon are captured in the photo gallery below.
