Working Landscapes and Warren Estate have teamed up to host the first "Chefs on the Farm" event on October 7, 2018 at 5pm. This is a special evening of field-to-plate pairings featuring top chefs and beverage professionals from Warren County and the Triangle.
The following farmers from Warren County will be highlighted:
Danylu Hundley, G&D Produce
Jeff Bender, Bender Farms
James Henderson, Henderson Natural Farm
David Hight, Hight Farms
Martez Alston, AAA Farm and Ranch
Jimmy Harris, Sunrise Ridge Farm

Each farmer will be paired with a food or beverage professional to create an unforgettable evening. The line-up is below:
AJ Garrelts and Michael Ring, Robinson Ferry
Teddy Diggs, Coronato Pizza
Serge Falcoz-Vigne, Saint Jacques French Cuisine
Melissa Foster and Kevin Smith, 41Hundred
Kim Hunter, formerly of Kimbap
Simone Saleh, Sassool
Marco Zapata, Whiskey Kitchen
Jake Wood, 18 Seaboard

The GrassStreet Bluegrass Band will also be performing live at the event. Their mixture of original material and bluegrass standards, along with their unique ability to cover a multitude of musical styles, set them apart from the average bluegrass band.
All proceeds from "Chefs on the Farm" will go directly to support Working Landscapes' farm-to-school programs, which have supplied 440,000 servings of fresh-cut, locally-grown produce to school children in twenty North Carolina school districts, as well as educating kids about healthy, local eating in school cafeterias, classrooms, and gardens. Your support will help put more farm-fresh harvests on kids' plates and support hands-on activities in schools!
Tickets are $38/person plus a $2.55 processing fee
** In case of inclement weather, a rain date is scheduled for October 14**
