A farm-inspired dinner crafted by Equal Plates Project chefs alongside talented local guest chefs, including Chef Taylor Montgomery, 2026 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef: Southeast, Chef Elana Pearlman of Piccolina and Chef Casey Ruiz .
Two drink tickets, good for beer, wine, and cocktails

Attire: Farm Formal
Think boots, bow ties, florals, denim, and your best dressed up for the farm look!

Every ticket purchased helps transform locally grown ingredients into nutritious meals for children, families, seniors, and neighbors in need all while supporting the local farms that make this work possible.

Come celebrate the incredible people behind every meal, invest in a more connected community, and help us ensure that everyone has access to fresh, locally sourced food.

We can't wait to celebrate with you!
