Community Gatherings + Market Calendar
Upcoming events.
Fortitude will be participating in various events to engage with the community. You can find us at the Farmers Market every Sunday, as well as at the Black Farmers Market. In addition, we will be hosting Community Farm Volunteer Days where individuals can join us in various farm activities. These events provide opportunities for our community to connect with us, learn more about sustainable farming practices, and get involved in supporting local agriculture. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
