Solstice Feast at Barron Creek Farm! Seasonal 4-course dinner by Chef Jesse Bermudez of Rancho Valencia, live music from Daring Greatly, farm tour. All proceeds fund food access. We invite you to join us for a Special Solstice Feast Thursday, June 25, 5:30-8 p.m. at Barron Creek Farm. Gather with us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the longest days of the year, the bounty of the season, and the power of community. Chef Jesse Bermudez of Rancho Valencia returns to create a seasonal four-course meal featuring ingredients freshly harvested from the very fields where we will dine. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy live music from the lead singer of Daring Greatly in Patch and Maggi, meaningful conversation, and the beauty of the farm as the sun sets over the landscape. This special dinner is offered on a sliding scale of $100-$150 per guest, with all proceeds supporting Barron Creek Farm's mission to grow food and share it freely with community members who face barriers to accessing fresh, healthy produce. Every ticket purchased helps us cultivate more than crops, it helps us cultivate belonging, food security, environmental stewardship, and a stronger local food system for all. The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a delicious herbal cocktail, a delightful charcuterie experience, live music and a farm tour. At 6:30 p.m. after a brief welcome, we will share a delightful meal and have time to connect with fellow supporters of the farm. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. An 80% portion of the ticket is a tax deductible donation. We hope you'll join us for this magical evening of seasonal food, community, and generosity. Barron Creek Farm on TikTok / Instagram
