kenai local food connection

Soldotna's Harvest Moon Festival is the Kenai Peninsula’s largest farmer’s market of the year. Vendors must sell Alaska-grown food or locally-sourced products.

Kenai Local Food Connection, a grassroots organization aimed at increasing access to healthy locally grown food, recently acquired a physical space to operate. The expansion is the group’s first brick-and-mortar location, which committee members believe will help them to better serve the community.

This year's Harvest Moon Local Foods Festival will feature farm vendors, the "fermentation station," annual pie-baking contest and a performance from the KP Brass Band.

The festival has been around in some form since 2013, and this year will feature a pie making contest, fermentation station and many produce vendors in Soldotna Creek Park.
