Now, what is this awesome non-profit, Celebrate HARVEST all about?
Celebrate HARVEST’s mission is to preserve the family farm by promoting and financially supporting experiential farming (aka agritainment/agritourism). The “HARVEST” stands for Helping Agriculture Reimagine Via Entertainment, Scholarships and Tourism.
Celebrate HARVEST is the vehicle that will help farms and farmers pivot and reimagine farming. Celebrate HARVEST wants to help the present-day, commodity-driven farmer either supplement or fully replace their revenue source by helping fund/build/manage non-traditional farming events and activities for them. Celebrate HARVEST wants to inspire the next generation’s interest in agritainment by raising funds to support continuing education/scholarships for those who may want to pursue agritainment AND to help fund field trips to experiential farms for students/schools that may not be able to afford it.
What fuels Celebrate HARVEST? Every vehicle needs the proper fuel to help that vehicle last longer and run more efficiently. With Celebrate HARVEST, there are three primary sources of fuel: donors, grants and finally, revenue-producing non-traditional farming activities/events/products/services (that Celebrate HARVEST helps promote, fund, build and/or manage). Secondary sources of fuel include: Celebrate HARVEST merchandise, a listing page of experiential farms, selling of tickets to experiential farms, collaborative monthly product-selling opportunities, auctions and more.
Some of the non-traditional farming activities/events that Celebrate HARVEST hopes to help fund include: pop-up movie screens, movie nights, beer/wine gardens, food truck festival events, bee hive displays, wall board mazes, entertainment stages, challenge/rope courses, disc golf courses, zip lines, live pig races, live duck races, fun runs and scavenger hunt events.
