The Lift Bridge Community Association (LBCA) will be hosting Harvest in the Harbor in collaboration with Ashtabula Farmers’ Market, Ashtabula Local Food, Dorset Community Food Forest, OSU Extension, Harbor Gardens and many others. With over 100 local farms, retail shops, restaurants and six farmers’ markets in the county, this festival will celebrate all of the local food we have to offer and the many ways we enjoy it! There will be three tracks in which folks can participate: Food & Nutrition, Growing and Festivities. 

The Harvest in the Harbor/ Local Food Festival will be in the Historic Ashtabula Harbor on Sunday, October 8th, 2023 from 10-4 p.m

We are inviting all restaurants, businesses and vendors in the county to participate.  The only requirement:  one item be highlighted as a local food item/dish/product made or produced in Ashtabula County (our group is able to assist in procuring the local foods if need be).

Please consider becoming a sponsor with other local community members, businesses and restaurants.
