Farm 2 Feast Success!
We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all who attended our Farm to Feast fundraising dinner at Loutet Farm a few weeks ago. With your help, we raised $9,200 at the event! The amazing support of all our event and silent auction sponsors meant that 100% of the proceeds went to support the education programs we will run at the Sutherland Schoolyard Market Garden. You can learn more about all our great sponsors here!
