The 7th annual F.A.R.M. Fest returned to Rochester this Sunday at MLK Park, offering a free, family-friendly celebration of food, art, recreation, and music hosted by The Village Agricultural Cooperative.

The Village Agricultural Cooperative is an organization that helps 200 families grow their own food across six different Rochester farms.
