Watch Sunset turn into a Star-lit Evening, Enjoy Great Food, Good Fun, and Tropical Music – all in support of two worthwhile non-profit organizations and their efforts to support local school and community gardens.
The Ginger and Jazz evening begins at 5pm with a farm tour and tasting of locally made products and exotic beverages. Music starts at 5:30pm and dinner begins at 6:30pm on the lawn. We’ll have a few guest speakers during your farm fresh salad serving, more music, the main course, and of course a fabulous dessert. Linger on to watch the moon rise and stars come out, weather permitting, as the sultry jazz enriches the night .. and we may even light a campfire.
Slow Food Hawaii and One Island Sustainable Living Center are co-hosting this event as a fundraiser for local school food education programs. Learn more about our programs at Same Canoe Community Gardens, No Fruit Left Behind, and Slow Food Hawaii. A beneficiary of the fundraiser is the Hawaii Island School Garden Network.
