There was a good turnout for this year’s Sooke Harvest Festival at the Sunriver Community Orchard on Sunday September 29.
In previous years the event has been an Apple Festival.
There were activities and vendors with local produce and other goods.
Weather was warm and dry.
This event is a fundraiser for the Sooke Food CHI organization. The non-profit organization assists the efforts of local farmers in local food production as well as promoting food security for all including agriculture, farming and fishing.
It’s a relaxing time for local residents and families, and an opportunity to view the food-growing plots that have been well-established for years as the Sunriver Community Garden.
