Win a bag of local deliciousness from the Honest Weight Local Harvest Fest
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
The contest is closed and we have a winner. Congratulations, Melissa!
This Sunday is the Honest Weight Local Harvest Festival from noon to 4 pm in Albany's Washington Park. More than 30 local food producers and restaurants will be offering samples and selling their products, chefs will do demonstrations, and WEXT's Laura Glazer will be hosting a music lineup that includes Barons in the Attic, Secondhand Roses, and Katie Hammon.
The Local Harvest Festival is a fun way to showcase the locally-produced bounty we've got here in the Capital Region. And a handful of Harvest Fest Vendors have offered to fill up a shopping bag for one lucky AOA winner. The winner gets:
All Good Bakers: - A $20 gift certificate for All Good Bakers that can be used at their shop at 540 Delaware Avenue. They just released their new fall menu, which includes all day breakfast.
Gatherer's Gourmet Granola: 15 3.15 oz (single serving) bags of three flavors of Gatherer's Gourmet Granola: Chipmunks Choice, Squirrel Bait, and Fox's Fancy.
3 Chicks and a P: A 3 pack of salsas and tapenades -- your choice, from 3 Chicks and a P.
Bettie's Cakes: Gift Card for a 4-pack of cupcakes from Bettie's Cakes.
Our Daily Eats: Thai chili peanuts, rosemary maple mix and maple crunch granola from Our Daily Eats.
Bake for You: A dozen Eloise cookies (named after the apartments) made with oats, white chips, cinnamon, and apples, from Bake for You.
Honest Weight Food Co-op: A $25 gift card from Honest Weight
We'll draw one comment at random. The winner can pick up their bounty by visiting the vendors at Sunday's Harvest Fest. Bring a big bag. To enter, just answer the following question in the comment section of this post:
What are you hoping to harvest this fall?
That could be anything: tomatoes, time, an opportunity, whatever -- you name it.
Important: All comments must be submitted by 10 am on Friday (September 21, 2012) to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by noon Friday (September 21) and must respond by 5 pm that same day. The winner can visit the vendors at the Harvest Fest to collect their prizes.
Honest Weight advertises on AOA. And AOA is a media sponsor of the Harvest Festival.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Want the whole list? Currently in my community garden plot awaiting harvest at various points in the fall: Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, red cabbage, Napa cabbage, kohlrabi, fall lettuces, swiss chard, beets, carrots, turnips, butternut squash, rhubarb, parsley. And I must get in before a first frost: the rest of the tomatoes, hot peppers, basil.
And -- fyi -- anybody who wants to sign up for a plot in one of the 47 gardens run by the CDCG in the Capital Region should contact the CDCG in February so you can get on the list to attend an orientation. Check the map for garden locations: http://www.cdcg.org/gardens.html
As you can see from my partial list above, you can grow a TON of organic vegetables in a medium-sized plot for a modest $30 fee.

I just learned how easy it is to oven dry the herbs from the garden I started this year, so I'm looking forward to filling up my miscellaneous jars. I'm hoping that the carrots, radishes, and sweet potatoes I put into fairly poor soil turn out to be more than miniatures. I also hope to buy a bunch of heirloom tomatoes to preserve for my sweetie who currently can't eat them.
I've been looking forward to this Harvest Fest - it was great last year!

I would love to harvest some Cider donuts from Focastle in Burnt Hills! No one Makes them like they do! Honestly, go get some and you'll never look at a cider donut again!

I'm hoping to harvest some family time with my husband and teenage daughters, to pick apples, and bake and cook with them! Both of my girls are really getting into cooking lately, and healthily, too!

I'd have liked to harvest an entry into this contest, but I just found it, 4hrs 25mins late. :-(
