Village Feast
The Village Feast follows the tradition of one of the great, late-summer feasts of Provence, France, where vast amounts of pungent aïoli—the golden garlic-mayonnaise that is a symbol of Provençal cuisine—unites people and food for a gastronomic celebration. The Sacramento region and Provence share a rich agricultural bounty owing to our Mediterranean climates; we grow many of the same crops. The event supports the work of Davis Farm to School and the Sacramento chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier International, the women-in-food sorority.
Les Dames d’Escoffier Sacramento chapter and Davis Farm to School are working together to support education programs around food and agriculture. Davis Farm to School provides garden grants, farm field trips and support for farm-fresh food in the schools. The Dames provide grants for women with children in the Saint John's Program for Real Change (a residential shelter with a culinary training program), women enrolled in the Alchemist Community Development culinary programs, as well as scholarships to women in food, wine, agriculture, and hospitality. All proceeds from The Village Feast go toward these missions.
In addition to the meal, the Village Feast includes a spectacular online silent auction with many unique food-related items and one-of-a-kind experiences donated by local chefs, restaurants, winemakers, farms and purveyors. No ticket is needed to bid in the auction. Find the auction here: https://auctria.events/thevillagefeast2024
