Home growers of vegetables, herbs and fruit are being invited to harvest their crops for a Home Harvest Feast in March, which will showcase the culinary bounty that can be made from local, seasonal fresh food.
 
This year, Banyule City Council has joined Nillumbik Shire Council, which began the event last year, attracting 100 growers and 300 diners.
 
Growers who register to supply produce for the feast are provided with free tickets to the event where trained cooks create a sumptuous meal from the supplied produce.
