Slow Food East End: ‘GROW – SHARE – GATHER’ w/ Live Auction @ Landcraft Garden, Mattituck, 9.18

Slow Food East End Fundraiser at Landcraft Garden Foundation

Dear Slow Food East End Members,

This September, we invite you to join us at the Landcraft Garden Foundation for Grow. Share. Gather., Slow Food East End’s largest and most important fundraiser of the year.

The event marks an exciting next chapter for our organization. Building on the spirit of A Moveable Feast, created to honor the life and legacy of Quail Hill farmer Joshua Levine, Grow. Share. Gather. will bring our community together to celebrate the farms, gardens, restaurants, producers, and people who nourish the East End.

Guests will enjoy light bites from Lombardi’s, pairing from Cab Franc Forward, and an evening of local food, wine, community, and connection in the extraordinary setting of the Landcraft Garden Foundation.

As our primary annual fundraiser, Grow. Share. Gather. will support Slow Food East End’s work throughout the year, including edible school and community gardens, local food education and access, hospital and healing gardens, support for local farmers and producers, and community programs centered around good, clean, and fair food.

A highlight of the evening will be a fundraising auction featuring special offerings from our Snail of Approval community, including:

Intimate dinners and chef-led dining experiences
CSA memberships and seasonal farm bounty packages
Vineyard tours and private wine tastings
Farm, lodging, and hospitality experiences
Specialty foods, local products, and one-of-a-kind offerings
These experiences reflect the creativity and generosity of the businesses and producers who make our local food community so distinctive.

In addition to purchasing tickets and participating in the auction, guests will have the opportunity to make a charitable contribution or join us as a Patron Donor. Patron gifts provide important additional support and help sustain the programs and partnerships at the heart of our mission.
