Food. Farms. Community. Action. With you at the table.

 
 
 

Delicious. Breathtaking. Movement-Building.

Pull up a chair. You are invited to a breathtaking evening of experiencing the best of humane, sustainable, local food while taking grassroots action to push our food system forward.

This intimate, outdoor event will bring together 18 lucky guests for a curated five-course meal sourced from local small farms and wild, foraged ingredients. Experience, savor and be inspired by expertly prepared humane, sustainable, seasonal food and flavors. 

We’ve teamed up with incredible, regenerative farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin to highlight ethical food raised from the best practices for animal welfare, soil health, climate, and local economies.

We’re proud to be partnering with Mill City Farmers Market to source from more farmers of color than ever. And we’re partnering with The Good Acre to help make 8 accessible tickets at the table available at no cost to community members in their network with valuable experience to share. We’re making this our most accessible and equitable dinner yet- not to mention delicious.

But this meal is more than eating delicious local food. Together, led by Greener Pastures, guests at the table will take guided action on meaningful food policy issues. 

Throughout each course of the meal, guests will learn from a local farmer, a food system reform organizer and advocate, and be led through grassroots actions right at the dinner table. Together, we’ll help raise our voices and contribute toward the movement away from factory farming and towards humane, sustainable, just food and farms. 

The dinner will take place in the Central neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the backyard of a 114 year-old private home. 

For the safety of our guests and staff, we require that all guests be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
