The 2026 Elk Township
Harvest Festival
South Jersey Preservation is proud to partner with Elk Township to present the inaugural Elk Township Harvest Festival - a celebration of the farms, families, and agricultural traditions that define our region. This community event brings together local farmers, artisans, food vendors, and families for a day filled with a farmers market, hay rides, children's activities, food trucks, vendors, and a festive Trunk or Treat.
Our goal is to celebrate the harvest season while strengthening connections between our community and the local farms that help feed it. Join us as we kick off what we hope will become a cherished annual tradition celebrating the best of South Jersey.
