Chef Janelle Weaver’s 25-year career includes her 7-year tenure as Executive Chef for iconic restaurateur & designer Pat Kuleto’s namesake Napa Valley Winery, Kuleto Estate, followed by the Estate Chef position at the prestigious Peter Michael Winery, in Sonoma County’s Knight’s Valley. In 2016, Weaver and her well known landscape designer husband, Daniel Townsend, relocated to Anderson Valley to open the beloved Bewildered Pig restaurant, where the destination was cherished for its harmonization of rustically elegant fare, unpretentiously poised hospitality, sumptuous interior, and playful, lush, gardens.
Local musicians Aaron Ford and Erica Gibbons have combined their talents and perform together as Frances Ford. This will be one of their first public engagements.

About the Noyo Food Forest
The Noyo Food Forest (NFF) is a small climate-smart production farm spread out over roughly an acre on the Fort Bragg High School campus. Founded in 2006, it is also a center for education in community-based agriculture, nutrition, sustainable pest management, developing increased biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and other climate-resilient practices. NFF offers free and low-cost workshops, paid internships, and classes in organic, community-based agriculture to train new local farmers and gardeners to feed the community. NFF works to cultivate a healthy local food system by creating opportunities for Mendocino Coast youth and community to learn about, grow, and access sustainably grown, garden-fresh foods. The organization is supported financially by plant and produce sales plus donations and grants, and operated by staff, board of directors, students and volunteers.
