Join us for a Winter Cocktail Party at the beautiful new Kyoudou Center at the Gresham Japanese Garden! We will be enjoying some live music, delicious farm-fresh appetizers and drinks (included in the ticket price), celebrating a joyful year at the farm, and raising funds to support Thimbleberry's food access and education programs. All proceeds from the event will count toward our 2024 Give!Guide goal of $30,000!

Food prepared by Simon Walsh from Sit Tite (see photo and bio below!)

Beverages prepared by Zoe Gaumer, experienced bartender and Thimbleberry's newest ambassador board member

Live music by Emma Sameth (on Instagram @emma_sameth) and Hank Rusak (on Instagram @hankrusak)

When you support Thimbleberry, you are supporting our efforts to 1) grow nutritious food for people in need, and 2) teach our community about how to grow and cook with seasonal produce, and how to improve our seed-to-plate system so that it is healthy for people and the planet. Since 2022, we have distributed over 20,500 lbs of produce to community members experiencing food insecurity-- that is enough produce for over 60,000 meals! Just in 2024, we have served over 650 community members through our field trips, classroom visits, and workshops! Thank you for supporting our work.
