Slow Food Ventura County invites you to join us for an event celebrating the fall bounty of greater Ojai. The fermentations of Michelle Lopez (Wild at Heart Ojai) are at the center of this meal. ($50.00 plus $3.74 fees)
Arrive and enter the farm off of Stockbridge Lane under the beautiful canopy of trees and enjoy appetizers by Chef Robin Goldstein (A Taste of Ojai), locally made spirits from Ventura Spirits combined with Wild at Heart probiotic elixers, wine from new vintner Topa Mountain Winery and fresh tap brew from Topa Topa Brewery.
There's time to walk the two acres of working farmland that highlight the efforts of Poco's greenhorn, Nitana Buzec-Calfee. A portion of the evenings meal will be harvested from Poco Farm - including a dessert prepared by Megan Hooker featuring regionally grown heritage grains.
