An Unforgettable Farm to City Feast
| Last Sunday, local farmers, food lovers, and the Bay Area's top chefs braved the season's first rains to gather at the Ferry Building for CUESA's 14th Annual Sunday Supper: A Farm to City Feast. The four-course meal was a celebration of California's rich agricultural bounty, raising necessary funds for CUESA's education programs, which support farmers, youth, and eaters in cultivating a healthy food system.
Among the evening's many highlights were an appearance from our Schoolyard to Market students, who served a delicious, garden-grown appetizer; a ginormous spit-roasted Long of Naples squash; and an inspiring testimonial from Curtis Lucero of Lucero Organic Farm, introducing a film about our farmers. We were also deeply honored to be joined by special guest Ruth Reichl, who delivered a galvanizing speech about our collective power to change the food system for the better. |
