7th Annual Locavore Gala and Fundraiser
Local Food and the Planet
Join us for a special Earth Day event celebrating local food and its positive impact on the planet.
Special Guests:
Caleb and Ashley of Sungrounded Farm
Ian and Courtney of North 44 Ranch
The evening will feature:
- Gourmet farm-to-table feast
- Faces of Farming photographic narrative of local farmers and ranchers
- Silent auction
- Live auction
- Infamous dessert dash
The theme of the event is the connection between local food and the environment, highlighting how small-scale farming practices are regenerative and beneficial for the land.
By choosing local food, we can support sustainable farming practices that rebuild soil health, limit or eliminate the use of pesticides and herbicides, maintain crop diversity for wildlife, and reduce transportation emissions. We will also explore how local ranchers use grass-based horticulture techniques that are more humane and environmentally friendly than traditional feedlot operations.
Together, we can make a difference by being mindful of our food choices and supporting a sustainable future for ourselves, our children, and our planet.
Attire: High Desert Formal What is High Desert Formal? Let's just say is anything between cocktail attire and black tie. We don't get many opportunities to dress up in Central Oregon, so if you are feeling fancy, go ahead and glam up for dinner! If the thought of dressing up makes you break out in hives, that's OK, too. Just do your best.
For gals: Fancy pants, nice tops, skirts, and boots will all pass.
For guys: jeans and a nice sport coat will get you through the door.
We are going to have a great time no matter what. We will be there with bells on ready to throw a great party!
Location: Tetherow Pavilion, 61240 Skyline Ranch Road, Bend, OR 97702
