CAC Beardsley Community Farm is teamed up with MHM Architects to bring you this unique farm-to-table fundraiser dinner featuring Beardsley Farm burritos created by OliBea! This dinner will be take-out style, with burrito dinner pickup at Beardsley Farm. If you come while it's still light out, we encourage you to take a stroll around the farm grounds. All courses are made with Beardsley Farm produce. Burrito dinners will include: a meat or vegetarian burrito (from OliBea), homemade chips and homemade salsa (from OliBea), and a dessert. Options are available to add on a special homemade paloma from Tako Taco. Pickup is at Beardsley Community Farm (1741 Reynolds Street, Knoxville, TN 37921) on Friday, December 4th anytime between 4pm-7pm. Come 10-20 minutes early to enjoy a stroll, meet our chickens, ask questions, and peruse our merchandise. All proceeds will benefit the farm's mission to promote food security in Knoxville.
