Join us June 30 from 5-7 p.m. to eat with pride at a meal featuring Ojaswe, a sustainable food company based in Seattle, WA. This event will explore food waste reduction efforts that start on the farm through regenerative agricultural practices and follow us through choosing ingredients for your home kitchen.

Dinner will be created by our guest chef Ash from Ojaswe who is on a mission to make delicious, nourishing & culturally relevant food accessible on a rapidly warming planet. She is curating a menu that simultaneously honors her roots and cares for our planet.

As always, we will make sure to have vegan and gluten free options. We focus on sourcing ingredients for the meal from small, local BIPOC farms who use organic growing practices.

What to Expect 

• Following public health guidelines: masks are optional, and proof of vaccination is not required. 
• We will have limited indoor space alongside outdoor, covered seating areas. Please dress for the weather. If you plan to explore the farm, please wear proper footwear. 
• Everyone is welcome- invite friends and family to share a meal with us by registering for yourselves and others! We ask that each person registers so we can prepare the correct amount of food. 
• We welcome donations during the event, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. We accept cash, cards and Apple Pay. 
• On-site parking is available, but we encourage visitors to walk, bike, or take public transit, when possible. There is a bike rack on site, and we are a short walk from 7 and 106 buses and the light rail station. 

Volunteer 

These events are truly a community effort! We welcome support from food prep to set up/breakdown. Stay tuned for volunteer sign ups.
