2023 Tiny Farm Big Table Dinners

Posted September 14, 2023

September 14, 2023

This summer, 120 lucky guests gathered at our sold out, farm-to-table dinners of the summer, and beautiful, delicious, and nurturing nights they were! 🌙✨ With candlelight, and under the early stars, we embarked on a culinary journey crafted by seven talented local chefs at each dinner, who created a beautiful balance of sweet, salt, texture, cream, umami, and char.

Beyond the delectable dishes and the joyful ambiance, this event was a heartfelt effort to raise funds for vital Food Security projects. From community gardens to shared skills and tools, and providing nourishment for the most vulnerable among us, every bite was a step towards a stronger, more resilient community.

You know how at our core, outside the filters and the picture frames, we’re all just deeply craving a human sense of belonging and community? These are the folks that took leaps and stepped up with our crew this past month to make some magic together. Wow – we are filled with immense gratitude for this amazing community.

Here’s to you, our partners, our friends, our neighbours, and volunteers who helped create these beautiful events and raise funds to feed the Coast.
