Join Portland Fruit Tree Project as we celebrate the harvest at Howell Territorial Orchard on Wapato (Sauvie) Island on August 12th with a day of Cider and Mead Tasting, games and harvest activities for all ages, and a sunset concert featuring the award-winning music of local legends Seffarine. (We can't promise a deer, but there was a deer last time! See Photos.)

 

Featuring the never to be missed menu from Spice of Africa, along with the African Heritage Cooking Experts from Oregon State University hosting live cold fruit prep activities with harvested fruits!
