Block Party Fundraiser at Rhodora

August 26, 2023

Participants: Food Education Fund (and many hungry diners)

To close out Summer 2023, Sky High Farm partnered with Rhodora Wine Bar and Food Education Fund to host a block party fundraiser that made us all wish the season could go on forever. Starting at 1pm and going strong for the next 12 hours, the street was packed with outdoor diners and a crowd of people dancing to an impeccable DJ line-up. Born from the brilliant mind of Naomi Lawrence, a talented chef and one of our visiting educators last year who worked with Food Education Fund (FEF) on a cooking workshop; the idea was to create an opportunity for FEF alumni to run their own pop-up experience out of Rhodora, the zero-waste wine bar where Naomi now leads the kitchen. The alumni from FEF worked with her to execute the ultimate summer cookout menu, and sold out of everything they made. All proceeds from food sales went directly to Sky High Farm and Food Education Fund.

Many thanks to Naomi, the gifted alumni from FEF, the whole Rhodora team, Heermance Farm who generously provided the produce, and every single sweetheart who showed up and showed out to support us all.
