Thanks everyone for a great
2006 Heartland Festival!

June 17 & 18, 2006
at Riverdance Farms in Livingston, CA

The Heartland Festival is a bridge-building event, bringing together a broad range of community members including family farmers, the urban and rural public, businesses, environmental groups, and educators. Through both celebration and education, the Heartland Festival encourages a closer understanding between the valley's long-term agricultural residents and its rapidly growing urban population. This year's festival will be held at a great new location, Riverdance Farms - a lush farm with organic cherry orchards and blueberry gardens on the banks of the Merced River.
