Your support tonight goes far beyond this table.

Every dollar you give helps fund hands-on regenerative farming and community food education that empowers young people and strengthens Bakersfield’s local food system.

With your help, we aim to raise $40,000 to support two paid apprenticeships at Fortitude Community Farm School. These year-long positions provide emerging farmers and food educators with real-world training in regenerative agriculture practices, soil stewardship, and community engagement. Apprentices learn how to grow nutritious food in ways that restore the land, share that knowledge with others, and inspire more people to take part in building a healthier, more resilient future.

Your generosity nourishes more than just tonight’s meal. It grows skills, confidence, and connections that will last for years to come.

Thank you for investing in a future rooted in good food, regenerative farming, and strong community.
