Dia de los Muertos at the Farm
Step into an unforgettable evening where food, tradition, and community come alive on the farm. Our Dia de los Muertos celebration is a chance to gather in the spirit of the season and honor the connection between the harvest and the ancestors who came before us.
The evening begins with a lively social hour where you can meet and mingle with farmers, chefs, and artisan vendors. Enjoy fresh appetizers, sip on a variety of local beverages, and explore the work of talented makers. Chefs Doug and Abby will fire up the flames for a live cooking demonstration, giving you a glimpse of the magic that will soon arrive at the table.
Afterward, we will come together for a family style dinner crafted with intention by our chefs. Each dish highlights the beauty of San Diego’s seasonal harvest and is designed to draw us closer to the story of how our food is grown, prepared, and shared.
As you savor the meal, a panel of farmers, chefs, and community voices will lead a conversation on organic agriculture and the importance of nurturing local food systems. Together, we will celebrate the harvest, honor our ancestors, and invite you to do the same.
This gathering is more than a dinner. It is a fall harvest experience on our 160 acre fifth generation farm that will leave you inspired, connected, and nourished.
