Welcome!
The 15th Annual Riverton Heritage Harvest Festival was held in Riverton on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th March 2024.
​
We had a fantastic weekend of workshops, demonstrations, good food & good company!
Over the festival weekend there were more than 24 workshops, teaching skills that included: fermenting foods, caring for fruit trees, making sourdough bread, harakeke weaving, and darning your gardening clothes (and much, much more)!
​
Thank you so much to everyone who came and helped us make it a great weekend.
​
Look out for our Bountiful Backyards Workshop Weekend in early October!
