  • Chef Rich Mead, Owner & Executive Chef of The Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens
  • Chef Rick Boxeth of Catered Courses
  • Chef Jim Gibbons, Culinary Manager at Tanaka Farms
  • Chef Ronnie Woods, Chef & Owner of Beef and Birds
  • Chef Willy Kwak, Confectioner/Founder of Krack’d Snacks

  • Chef Michelle Curry, Chef and Food Service Specialist
  • Chef Qui, Chef & Owner of A Pinch of Salt Catering
  • Chef George Marinos, Chief Executive Officer of TGIS Catering
  • Chef Andrew Johnson, Kitchen Curative + Nourishment Program Director at Anneliese Schools

The evening promises to be memorable, featuring a selection of craft beer, wine, and music, all enjoyed from a picturesque hilltop venue at Tanaka Farms.

Opportunities to participate include table sponsorships, silent auction donations, and more. All proceeds from the event will support efforts to eradicate hunger in the community while providing essential educational programming on food, wellness, and the impact of urban farming.
