Enjoy an evening at beautiful Mendocino Grove featuring live music and a locally sourced Mendocino County dinner, all while supporting Noyo Food Forest.
Join us for a special Harvest Dinner at Mendocino Grove benefiting Noyo Food Forest and our work growing food for local schools and teaching the next generation about sustainable agriculture.
Enjoy a seasonal, veggie-forward, family-style dinner prepared by Chef and Mendocino High School Culinary Arts instructor Carolen Barrett and her students, featuring ingredients inspired by the farms and gardens of Mendocino County.
Gather with community beneath the beautiful trees of Mendocino Grove, with live music from Alex Wright | Mighty Blue Heron throughout the evening.
We’re also grateful to Bonterra Organic Estates for generously sponsoring the evening and providing the wines that will be available for purchase and poured throughout the night.
Come eat, gather, listen to great local music, and help support the Learning Garden and Noyo Food Forest programs!
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.
