A Celebration of Food, Culture, and Community​

🤎 Indulge in an unforgettable culinary experience prepared by Chef Olivia Ford, affectionately known as Chef Liiv of Liiv for Flavor.

Chef Liiv is an Afro-Indigenous chef whose cuisine reflects a deep connection to the land, family, culture, and bold, unforgettable flavors. This year's menu will feature fresh, seasonal ingredients grown with care at Clean Greens Farm & Market, including collard greens, winter squash, onions, and other farm-fresh favorites. Each course will be thoughtfully crafted and infused with her signature Cajun flair and Pacific Northwest inspiration.

A heartfelt thank you to Clean Greens Farmer Tommy Willis, whose dedication and hard work have produced a beautiful and bountiful harvest for our community this season.

🎙️ Enjoy an evening filled with soulful music as you are serenaded by a special performance from The Rhapsody Songsters, creating the perfect atmosphere for fellowship and celebration.

💚 Be inspired by our keynote speaker, Dr. Aakanksha Sinha, as she presents "The Power of Food to Build Stronger and Healthier Communities." Her message will explore how access to fresh, nutritious food can transform lives, strengthen neighborhoods, and create lasting community impact.

More than a dinner, this is a celebration. The Harvest Dinner is an opportunity to connect with neighbors, celebrate another successful growing season, and reflect on the collective work of cultivating healthy food, meaningful relationships, and thriving communities.
