This magical event was Co-sponsored by our dear friends, The Little Lake Grange. The tradition of Harvest Dinners at the Grange has been stewarded by many groups for over a decade. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to carry the torch and add our own herbal touch.
For the second year in a row, our delicious meal was dreamed up and prepared by Chefs Danny Becker and Tanner Frye, as well as the remarkable ALL volunteer kitchen staff (prep, cooking, and waitstaff.) Thank you to our stellar set-up crew for setting the stage for a beautiful evening.
This year, the Herb Guild purchased much of the produce, in a show of solidarity to our local farmers. We also received generous donations from many farms. We would like to thanks the following farms for making this meal possible: Happy Day Farms, Irene’s Garden, Seely Farm, Nurturing Seed, Cinnamon Bear Farm, New Agrarian Collective, Yokayo Roots, Anarchy Herbals, and Green Uprising Farm. Thank you also to Mariposa Market and the MendoLake Food Hub for helping us source ingredients in our greater bio-region.
The local bar was made possible by Michelle Cummins, Tamar Distillery, Frey Vineyards, Anderson Valley Brewing Company, Sanhedrin Brewery, The Apple Farm, Christina, Erika, Kiohma and Stella Bonnet. Thank you to Krista at SheWolf for the delicious coffee!
Thank you to Donna d’Terra, Selena Rowan, Karin Uphoff, and Antoinette Ascencio for warming our hearts with your beautiful words.
The beautiful centerpieces were created by Donna d’Terra and Jonelle Puetz. We’d like to thank Paige for holding down the centerpiece fundraiser table.
