Schoolyard Harvest Longtable Dinner
Named "The Most Worthy Longtable Dinner of the Summer" by Vancouver Magazine in 2019, join us for an unforgettable Long Table Dinner in the enchanting summer evening. Come experience a multi-course meal prepared by culinary talents of local, award-winning chefs to celebrate local food & community, in support of Fresh Roots kids & youth!
The evening will begin with an optional cocktail hour at 5:30pm with your choice of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages accompanied by a grazing table composed of locally produced ingredients and the best of the season’s local harvest. During our cocktail hour guests are encouraged to mingle and wander through the lush schoolyard farm to experience the work of Fresh Roots firsthand at the peak of golden hour. Knowledgeable staff and former youth participants will be on hand to offer farm tours and tell you about their first-hand experiences with Fresh Roots.
At 6:30 you’ll take your seat to indulge in a locally-focused multi-course meal prepared by Governor General award-winning Chef Robert Clark + Julian Bond (Organic Ocean Seafood) Chef TJ Conwi (Ono Vancouver), award-winning pastry Chef Fumiko Moreton and Chef Derrick Sibayan (Holts Cafe) plus beverages from Ward’s Cider, 33 Acres Brewing and Persephone Brewing Company.
Come join us and take a seat at the table. Funds generated by this highly anticipated annual event directly benefit Fresh Roots' youth programs.
