The Urban Farm Table
a farm-to-table luncheon in support of
Alameda Point Collaborative
Sunday, May 17
1pm
APC Farm2Market Farm
2600 Barbers Point Road
$95
Join us for an afternoon of inspiration and good company at the APC Farm2Market farm. Keynote speaker,
Bryant Terry, will share his experience as an activist
to create a healthy, just, and sustainable food system. APC residents will share their own experiences on the farm and beyond, and their hopes for brighter future.
Guests will enjoy a meal prepared by Blue Heron Catering featuring produce grown by on-the-job trainees of the APC Farm2Market Project. Farm2Market
uses farming to not only help adults gain the skills to re-enter the workforce, but also to start or rekindle a passion for fresh, local, sustainable food to support a healthy lifestyle. Our good friends from St. George Spirits will be creating custom cocktails
that will be sure to delight!
After lunch, enjoy dessert, music by Kevin Smith and farm tours led by our very own on-the-job trainees.
