Upcoming Fall Harvest Weekend with The Defined Dish | Plus: CSA Notes for Nov 4, 2021

Hatcher Station Farm from a bird’s eye.

Autumn is definitely upon us. And while that signals the winding down of our growing season, it’s also ushers in the fall harvest and the season of Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to our Fall Harvest Weekend – November 19 -21 – which will signal the launch our first major fundraising campaign as well as provide an opportunity to give back even more to the community in which we’re growing food, creating jobs, and fostering hope.

The weekend will culminate with Sunday’s, November 21st “Thanksgiving Dinner Fixins’ Giveaway” that will provide a turkey and all the ingredients necessary to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to over 100 local community families. This day is being sponsored and supplied by Whole Foods Market. 

But Sunday’s event could only happen with the help of the hands of our volunteers from Kosmos Energy who put these bags of food together. They’ll be joining us at the Hatcher Station Farm on Friday, November 19, to help harvest and assemble all the ingredients in those bags.  Volunteer time: 11 am to 4 pm.

Saturday will bring the first of what we believe will be many more “Farm-To-Table” fundraising events. What promises to be an amazing brunch is being curated by New York Times best selling cookbook author, Alex Snodgrass, known as “The Defined Dish”. In partnership with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and their Block to Block program, Alex will present a simple, healthy local harvest brunch prepared by Dallas’ Vestals Catering served along with a selection of Tito's garden-themed cocktails. 

And everything we do would not be nearly as possible without the support of great partners like Kosmos Energy as well as Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Whole Food Market.

Thank you for supporting our mission to Grow A Better Dallas!
