Harford County Public Library Foundation hosts its Third Annual Taste of Harford on held May 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Vignon Manor Farm, 425 Darlington Road in Havre de Grace. This popular eat local, buy local, shop local extravaganza showcases local restaurants, farms, breweries, wineries and distilleries—plus local artisans selling handcrafted goods.

Taste of Harford features more than 40 local food and drink partners, including restaurants, farmers, breweries and wineries. Each will provide guests with a “taste” of a specialty item, and all participants are encouraged to incorporate locally sourced ingredients in their recipes. A market area will showcase local artisans who will be selling handcrafted goods.
