Join us for Cultural Cuisine 2011
MESA is holding our 7th Annual Cultural Cuisine Celebration in San Francisco’s Ghirardelli Square overlooking the bay on November 17th at 6:00pm.
Support new leaders in sustainable agriculture by celebrating the accomplishments of our 2011 team of global farm Stewards!
A delicious multi-cultural feast prepared with help from MESA Stewards will feature favorite dishes and flavors from their home countries. We are incredibly fortunate this year to receive fabulous donations from local growers and suppliers. The menu will include traditional dishes from Peru, Ecuador, and Thailand, with local wine and beer.
This festive evening will feature keynote speaker Ignacio Chapela, live music, dancing, the Inaugural Forging Farmers Awards, and a silent auction showcasing sustainable farm and winery tours, eco-friendly spa get-aways, tempting gift baskets from local purveyors, and much more. Check out the online invitation for a full list of our food and silent auction donors. Support MESA and support an equitable, clean food system where farmers have hopeful futures!
Come celebrate with us! Tickets are $50 per person online, or $60 at the door. Please RSVP to reserve your spot today!
Can't attend but want to contribute? We'll miss your presence but welcome your donation!
We hope to see you there!
We returned to Hidden Villa Farm in Los Altos Hills to welcome this year’s stewards. They are a lively, passionate group of 19 from Ecuador, Georgia, Nepal, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, and they filled the week with positive energy.
MESA is thrilled to award recent NLP alum Ana Huamani a $2000 Home Country Project grant to start a women's farmers association in Mala, Peru to improve ecological production practices and direct marketing channels.
