Our Big Gratitude Weekend featuring brunch with The Defined Dish

New York Times bestselling chef/author Alex Snodgrass hosts our fundraising brunch.

We hope that you had a great Thanksgiving! We at Restorative Farms have much to be thankful for. 

November 21st, 2021, marked the 4-year anniversary of the public launch of our Seedling Farm at MLK, a unique seedling growing venue housed on the grounds of the Martin Luther King, Jr, Community Center in South Dallas.  From this small greenhouse our mission took its first step towards Growing A Better Dallas.

It’s hard to believe that November 2021 is already behind us. It was a very eventful month that featured our ‘Gratitude Weekend’ (Nov 19-21).

On Friday, we hosted a hard-working Volunteer Day featuring many of our friends at Kosmos Energy.  We tended the farm and also helped prep and pack Thanksgiving ‘Fixin’s Baskets’ for distribution on Sunday (read below).  

Then, on Saturday, it was an amazing, delicious, and frothy Farm-To-Table Fundraising Brunch featuring New York Times best-selling super chef and influencer Alex Snodgrass of The Defined Dish along with garden-themed cocktails from our great partners at Tito’s Handmade Vodka.  See some pics from the event below.

And then on Sunday we did nothing less than partner with Whole Foods Market to distribute 100 Thanksgiving ‘Fixins Baskets’ with foodstuffs from our farm and farm partners which we handed out to the local community on Sunday!  

So, while we reflect on our ACCOMPLISHMENTS (please click to see many of them!) it’s also time to look forward with gratitude and renewed energy for what else we can do create positive, real-world, on-the-ground change in our community.   

We are grateful for the support of such great people and companies like Kosmos Energy, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and Whole Foods Market. This support and sponsorship is making a difference. It sounds trite but we mean it when we say, Together, We Will Grow A Better Dallas!
