The 8th Annual Green Feast farm-to-table fundraiser, will be hosted by Chef Alice Waters, a pioneer of the farm-to-table movement on Saturday, June 18th at The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano.
“From its inception, Green Feast was inspired by Alice Waters, who is one of the most influential and important figures in food in the past 50 years. We are honored not only to have attracted the attention of such a respected culinary leader, but also to have her join our local community leaders, chefs and farmers in this powerful demonstration of the future of food, which is rooted in organics and sustainability,” said Evan Marks, Founder & Executive Director of The Ecology Center.
“With Alice Waters’ blessing at this summer’s Green Feast, we will generate national and international attention for the work being done at The Ecology Center, which will include expanding our program designed to bring edible gardens to every school in Orange County and highlighting our Community Table Accord.”
This year, The Ecology Center will be hosting two Green Feast dinners, one on June 18, 2016 with Alice Waters, renowned author, chef and founder of Edible Schoolyard Project and Chez Panisse, with a summer dinner prepared by Chez Panisse chefs. The second will be held on September 10, 2016 with top regional chefs, from San Diego to Los Angeles, coming together to create an inspiring, sustainable feast.
Individual tickets for Green Feast with Alice Waters are available to The Ecology Center members for $500 per guest and can be purchased here.
Annual membership for The Ecology Center starts at $50 for a full year of benefits.
All proceeds from Green Feast will be directly invested into The Ecology Center’s eco-educational programs and initiatives.
