October was a bumper month here (to borrow a phrase from the farm), with all sorts of events and celebrations to commemorate local food month and the harvest! Here’s a look back at some of the amazing things we did and participated in during the month!
On October 14th we participated in the 5th Annual Local Food Festival and Field Day.
Sol Harvest came out with their farm stand…
And Chef Jaye did a fabulous cooking demonstration of her roasted winter squash and jujube salad:
On October 20th, we had our first-ever Harvest Festival and Marigold Festival!
There was live music and fresh food all day long…
Workshops, and demos and games for everyone…
Dia de los Muertos arts and crafts for the kids…
And fresh local produce (including pumpkins!) to buy at the Farm Stand:
Then we ended the month with Moveable Feast, a roving, city-wide event with several restaurants hosting special dinners to highlight the local harvest.
At Farm & Table, 40 guests partook in our Moveable Feast with amazing creations like a mushroom and winter squash napoleon…
And a pistachio-encrusted lamb served with red chile broth and sweet potato flan…
Even the centerpiece was edible!
It was a magical evening.
We had an amazing time celebrating the month of October with you this year – and we can’t wait to do it again next year!
