Palisade Farm Fest Celebrates Agriculture and Supports Migrant Workers
A new festival, Palisade Farm Fest, was held in Palisade, Colorado, bringing together farmers, food producers, and the community to celebrate agriculture. The event filled a calendar gap left by the Honey Bee Festival's relocation. It showcased the diverse agricultural practices in the region, featuring local breweries, wineries, cideries, and food growers. The festival highlighted value-added agriculture, demonstrating how agriculture impacts various industries, from beer and cider production to wine making. Additionally, the event focused on educating attendees about farming, water conservation, and soil health, addressing the region's water shortage issues. The festival also aimed to support migrant workers, with proceeds benefiting La Plaza, an organization that assists H-2A and migrant laborers.
