This Boulder Farm Dinner on August 26 Is Also a Fundraiser for Local BIPOC Farmers
Farm dinners are a great way to enjoy some of the best local seasonal produce, break bread with friends and create wholesome summertime memories. On August 26, an impressive assemblage of chefs and farmers will join forces in Boulder to celebrate the local Slow Food chapter while also highlighting diversity in food and agriculture.
With produce and meat raised by a skilled Lebanese farmer, food prepared by an acclaimed Gambian chef and desserts crafted by a well-traveled pastry chef, this four-course farm dinner is sure to be a memorable evening. The event starts at 4 p.m. at Jacob Springs Farm (7602 Arapahoe Road in Boulder) and includes zero-proof beverages. Tickets, $95, are available online.
