Brewer’s Dinner to Support Edible School GardensBrewer’s Dinner to Support Edible School Gardens
August 27, 2017 will kick off this year’s Downtown Woodland Beer Week with a Brewer’s Dinner at Kitchen428 Restaurant and culminate with the annual Yolo Brewfest on September 2nd. The Brewer’s Dinner is a night to raise funds to help Yolo Farm to Fork partner with Dingle Elementary to revitalize their edible school garden program. The 4-course meal will highlight the unique flavors of the season by pairing local producers with a craft beer.
The dinner will spotlight craft beers from Blue Note Brewing Company, Sudwerk Brewing Co, Berryessa Brewing Co and Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets.com or in person at Kitchen428 Restaurant and Mojo’s Lounge. Event sponsors include Park Water Resources Drilling, Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, The Morning Star Company, Barrios Farms, InterWest and Nationwide Insurance.
The menu will highlight local farm fresh fruits and vegetables, grass-fed organic beef, baked bread, and local wines from Corkey’s Nuts, Panorama Meats, SunFed Ranch, Manas Ranch Peaches, Williams Family Sustainable Farm, Route 3 Wines, Matchbook Wines, and Zest Fresh Pastry West.
The dinner will benefit Yolo Farm to Fork’s Growing Lunch Program at Dingle Elementary. Through the Growing Lunch Program, Dingle Elementary students will grow, harvest, and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to their school cafeteria to be served in their lunch program. Dingle students and teachers use the garden to get outside classroom and teach engaging hands-on lessons in Science, Language Arts, Math, and History.
Yolo Farm to Fork, a private nonprofit organization, supports garden-centered and farm-based education for students. Yolo Farm to Fork programs bring farm-fresh food to school meals, while providing the real-life resources for kids to improve nutrition habits, fight obesity and integrate garden learning with classroom instruction while sustaining edible gardens.
Located in Downtown Woodland, Mojo’s Lounge and Kitchen428 Restaurant is a sophisticated local gathering spot in a historic building offering a Farm-to-Fork yet casual dining experience in the heart of the “Farms to your Forks” region of Yolo County and the Capay Valley. Mojo’s & Kitchen428 Restaurant specialize in seasonal, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients as well as seasonally refreshing libations and local beer and wines offered in the Lounge.
A portion of the cost of each ticket will be a tax-deductible donation to Yolo Farm to Fork. More information about the event and the programs it supports is available on the Yolo Farm to Fork website (www.yolofarmtofork.org) or on Facebook.
