Southeastern Pennsylvania’s premier food event, the Good Food Fest (GFF), will return to the Kimberton Fairgrounds, in Phoenixville, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 3, 2024. VIP ticket holders can enter early at 10 a.m. Hosted by Growing Roots Partners, this annual celebration highlights local food, agriculture and community spirit.

Attendees can explore more than 100 local farmers, food producers and artisans, as well as enjoy food trucks; a demo kitchen; and a pouring room featuring local brewers, cideries and distilleries. Live music by Frog Holler Band, children’s activities and live farm animals make the event a fun and educational experience for the entire family.

At the heart of GFF is a mission to support regional agriculture and local food production. Christy Campli, owner of Growing Roots Partners and organizer of the festival, explains, “We’re passionate about local food and supporting our growers and makers. Good Food Fest is a way to celebrate, support and build awareness around the importance of local agriculture.”

The festival’s premier sponsor, family-owned and operated Kimberton Whole Foods (KWF), an organic and local independent grocer, plays a significant role in promoting local agriculture throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. As a pioneer in the organic food movement, the company works with more than 200 regional producers, ensuring that consumers have access to sustainably farmed, high-quality products. “This event serves as an opportunity to educate the community on the wide range of products that are available in our region and gives children and young families the experience of learning where their food comes from,” says Terry Brett, KWF founder and CEO.

GFF offers an immersive experience, allowing festival-goers to meet local growers and producers while enjoying live cooking demonstrations, farm-to-table meals and local brews. It’s a great chance to celebrate local food and learn about sustainable practices that benefit both health and the environment.
