"Seeds for the Future" Fundraising Dinner - Benefiting School Gardens in San Diego and Baja
About this Event

Berry Good Food (BGF) is thrilled to announce the return of our annual School Gardens fundraiser, “Seeds for the Future,” an unforgettable event with our local and sustainable culinary community of chefs, farmers, fishermen, winemakers, distillers, and brewers.

Proceeds from the dinner will help fund school garden grants for the 2022-23 school year in San Diego County with an application process beginning online at BerryGoodFood.org in Fall 2022. Since 2017, BGF has awarded more than $50,000 in grants to 23 schools with garden programs in our shared bioregion of San Diego and northern Baja.

New this year, Berry Good Food is expanding the scope of the "Seeds for the Future" fundraiser by offering three uniquely styled dinners in three different locations around San Diego as a Summer Series! (Stay tuned for a July 9th dinner at the Institute of Contemporary Art and an August 13th dinner at Aschbrenner Acres Farm.)

For the first of the three events, join us on June 11th at Casa de Flor in Bankers Hill for a "Fire & Ice" experience where guests will begin inside with an exhibition-style service of shellfish, sashimi, crudo, and ceviche; then transition outside to enjoy seafood and veggies over open flame. These culinary delights will be created by Chef Flor Franco (Casa de Flor), Chef Davin Waite (Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub), Chef Ron Oliver (private chef and caterer), and fishmonger and television host Tommy Gomes (TunaVille Market & Grocery).

Champagne, wine, beer, kombucha, and a signature cocktail will be available for your enjoyment. Enjoy live piano and guitar music, a silent auction, and hear from special guests involved in the Berry Good Food school garden program.

As always, it will be a fun and fantastic night with amazing food and drink, engaging with our local food community and supporters of a wonderful cause!
