May 31- Slow Down on the Delta
We are pleased to announce that our speaker will be Anya Fernald, CEO of Slow Food Nation and longtime program director for California Alliance of Family Farms. Her husband, Renato Sardo, head of Slow Food International, will also be attending.
DINNER ON THE DELTA: Talented chefs from each region will prepare a four-course meal from each county’s seasonal agricultural products – Patrick Mulvaney (Sacramento), Molly Hawks and Michael Fagnoni (Placer), Daniel Bell (Solano) and Pru Mendez (Davis). The chefs are sourcing locally grown food, such as spring lamb, endive extravaganza, local cheeses and nuts, and appetizers and desserts using fruits and vegetables sourced from the four counties. Wines from each county will also be served.
This gathering will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the chefs and farmers and enjoy the ambience of the Delta with friends under old valley oaks on the edge of the Sacramento River. Food-themed silent and live auctions will raise funds for Slow Food Nation.
WHEN and WHERE: Saturday May 31, 5:00 p.m. at Vino Farms, 51375 S. Netherlands Road, Clarksburg, CA 95612 Driving Directions
TICKETS: $85 General Public; $75 Slow Food members available at Brown Paper Tickets.
