Your guide to celebrating October 12 2027
Skip to all 15 daysOctober 12 is made for a market-to-backyard barbecue, with fresh produce in the bag and something delicious taking its sweet time at home.
Start with National Farmers Day at a local farmers market. Buy directly from the growers and pick out sweet corn for the barbecue. If a nearby farm welcomes visitors, stop in and see where part of the meal began. The outing makes the produce more interesting than another lap around the grocery store, and you might come home ready to plant something of your own.
Back home, clear the table for National Pulled Pork Day. Let a pork shoulder cook low and slow in a slow cooker until it pulls apart easily. A rub with smoked paprika and brown sugar sets it up nicely, while apple cider vinegar gives the finished pork a tangy kick.

Invite friends or neighbors over and pile the pork into sandwiches, with the market corn alongside. Coleslaw or baked beans also fit right in, but there is no need to turn the table into a county fair. One good side and a heap of napkins will handle the assignment.
If pork remains after everyone has eaten, give it an encore over loaded fries. Between the farmers market haul, the slowly cooked main event and the possibility of fries under barbecue, October 12 has dinner covered rather thoroughly.
