At Forgotten Harvest, it’s our goal to ensure the nutritious bounty of the harvest season is enjoyed by all. That’s why we’re pleased to announce the return of our annual Women’s Harvest Lunch, presented by Kroger Co. of Michigan, held at the Royal Oak Farmers Market on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025! This fundraising event brings together women, businesses, and community leaders who are committed to alleviating hunger and reducing food loss for an exciting & charitable afternoon.

Women’s Harvest Lunch features a coursed luncheon highlighting some of the seasonal, nutritious ingredients we distribute to the community. Proceeds will benefit our organization’s efforts to provide fresh, healthy produce that is too often unavailable or unaffordable to Metro Detroiters in need through our farm, pantry partners, and grocery rescue program.
