Slow Food Heritage Harvest Dinner

Harvest has arrived in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Help us celebrate the best of the region's bounty with a feast showcasing some of the unique, indigenous foods that make this area so special, and recognizing the producers who keep these time-honored traditions alive.

Held at the beautiful MacMurray Ranch, this harvest event will feature a 4-course meal showcasing local heritage foods highlighted on the list of the Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste Program. Slow Food USA introduced the Ark of Taste Project in 1996 to raise awareness and support for endangered foods and gastronomic traditions in America - and ensure that they retain a central place at our table and culture.

In honor of the Ark of Taste project, the harvest event will feature local grains, vegetables and fruits for guests to taste and an auction of live heritage turkeys. Our Russian River convivium, in collaboration with other Sonoma County service groups, is working with and providing support to local 4-H and FFA (Future Farmers of America) members to reintroduce these varieties to the market. A portion of the funds raised from this event will benefit these heritage-food projects.
