Save the Date! From Farms to Forks Returns

An elegant plate of food with the words Save the Date

On October 1st, 2023, we will hold our 14th annual From Farms to Forks fundraising event. We are so excited to once again gather in person to celebrate the treasures and talent of our local food and culinary communities. A kitchen party at its best — From Farms to Forks brings together local chefs, growers, and makers to curate an evening of tasting plates and pairings to support our mission of connecting chefs, kids, and communities to foster systemic change towards healthy, sustainable, and just food practices.

For the first time since 2019, we will be returning to the Harvest Kitchen Party format, where guests can wander between chef stations to taste a delicious assortment of plates and wine pairings while interacting with the growers, chefs, and other guests. The evening will also feature a silent auction of items and experiences donated by local businesses and individuals.

Our From Farms to Forks raffle is back with incredible prizes! Raffle tickets will be available to the general public, so you can still join in on all the fun if you are unable to attend the event. All proceeds from raffle sales, ticket purchases, and silent auction bids will support our food literacy programs.

Tickets to the gala fundraiser and the raffle will be available in August. Mark your calendars!
