Sustain Supper Volunteer

Join us for an evening of connection, celebration, and delicious food! We are excited to gather together in the community and celebrate the season at our Summer Sustain Supper on Saturday, July 19th, 11:30-8:30 PM. This event will feature a delicious, multi-course meal, featuring organic produce grown on our farm in our programs, as well as live music, flavorful wine and local beverages, a farm tour, and inspiring speakers. Our fantastic chef for the evening is Chef Katie Reicher from Greens of San Francisco, who will source ingredients from the farm itself as well as from her new cookbook, Seasons of Greens. Our engaging keynote speaker is author Manjula Martin, who's recent National Bestselling book The Last Fire Season, was listed as one of NPR's best of the year and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
