Celebrate fall on the campus farm at the annual Harvest Festival, presented by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology with the Food Systems Working Group, Measure 43, and Life Lab. Activities for all ages include face painting, flower pressing, pumpkin painting, cider pressing, tractor rides, and live music. Enjoy treats from local food trucks, cheer on the apple pie bake-off, meet local organizations, and explore the UCSC Farm.

Admission is $5 for the general public, with cash preferred at the gate. Entry is free for current UC Santa Cruz, Hartnell College, and Cabrillo College students, Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden members, and children under 12. Please carpool, walk, bike, or take the bus if you can. Pets are not allowed on campus, except service animals.

The UCSC Farm has hilly and uneven terrain with gravel, dirt, and mulched paths. We strive to make our events as accessible as possible. If you require an accommodation or service to fully participate, please email agroecology@ucsc.edu and we will do our best to accommodate.
