Farm to Plate: Oh What a Night!
We'd like to thank everyone who attended our 10th Annual Farm to Plate on May 10, 2017. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we raised $37,695 to support access to local food for everyone in Austin. And thanks to a matching grant, we were able to double the first $25,000 in donations received that night! We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of the silent auction donors and bidders at the night’s event, who helped us raise an additional $13,045.
No Farm to Plate is ever complete without thanking the local culinary artists who crafted the delicious bites and sips for us. Please join us in thanking them by paying a visit to one of their establishments for a meal and/or a beverage soon. And be sure to check out our fabulous photo gallery of the night's festivities!
