We invite you to come to the table. Winter is coming and we need your support.

Hosted by Xa Kako Dile: at the Mendocino Art Center, our sea/forest/farm-to-table fundraiser dinner will bring together local chefs and local community to support an urgent and vital cause.

Limited space, register today!

All proceeds will support the Pomo Seed-to-Table Food Sovereignty Project, which provides nutritious, shelf-stable meals to Pomo and Ponca families. These meals, made with traditional ingredients and sustainable practices, are a vital step toward reclaiming food sovereignty and improving health outcomes in our communities.

We will be gathering for our meal in MAC’s main gallery, amongst the incredibly powerful exhibit, Indigenous Women Are Sacred, raising awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

So prepare yourself to experience a wide range of emotions- this will be a heartwarming evening of beautiful food and community connectedness, as well as being solemnly present with the brutal realities of hunger and violence that exist in Indian Country.

The meal will feature dishes crafted from local foods including seaweed, huckleberries, and wild mushrooms, generously sourced from local community members. Numerous farms including Big Mesa Farm, Elderflower Farm, Rhizing Ground, as well as the Mendo Lake Food Hub have contributed beautiful produce and honorably raised goat to the night’s meal.

We will be serving slow roasted goat, roasted delicata squash with papián, herb roasted sunchokes, toasted black seaweed, beans from our farm with wild mushrooms and greens, fresh salsas and other surprises. Its going to be good…

This is a no-alcohol event, reflecting our commitment to the creation of spaces that uplift the health and strength of our communities.
