Harvest Supper!
Saturday, August 24 2024
Each August we come together to share that bountiful harvest with our community. Farmers, local producers of goods, and talented chefs all donate their time and products to create an amazing meal that is served on the Town Common in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
It takes a whole community to make a great community event. Hundreds of volunteers, over thirty farms, a dozen organizations, and countless home gardeners (along with over 1,000 hungry diners!) help make the supper a success. Planning, donating food, volunteering the day of the event, and providing information for the display area, are just a few of the many ways to be involved in this great event.
Food is served from 4-7pm on the Greenfield Town Common.

Line Organizer & People Counter (1st Shift)
It is very important for us to know just how many people actually come to dine with us at the Harvest Supper which is why we provide "counters" for your use.
You will be seated/standing at the beginning of the tent where diners enter which holds all the delicious dishes to be served.
I know you will all be gracious and smiling as they enter with their plates to be served.
Please be as accurate as you can --- I'm sure if there is a rush of a plethora of people a few may be missed.
The serving tent is set up in two rows so please station yourselves for each entrance -- and request that people enter in two rows -- that is your responsibility.
