We welcome you to come to the table for the first annual Virginia Farm-to-Table Harvest Celebration to uplift the people and partnerships building a healthier food system from the soil up. This educational and celebratory dinner and evening will bring together farmers, food system leaders, educators, health professionals, and community members to enjoy a locally sourced farm-to-table dinner, share stories, highlight innovations in soil health, and cultivate joy and connection.
Held on the historic Sunny Slope Farm, the evening will blend good food, live music by Bob Chew, farmer storytelling, and interactive displays to honor the collective work of Virginia’s soil health and farm-to-table champions. This harvest celebration will also raise visibility for the Virginia Soil Health Coalition and the 4 The Soil initiative — helping attendees see how their values, work, and plates are all rooted in healthy soil.
