Community Benefit Dinner: Blessings in a Backpack River Valley
Granor Farm is fortunate to be rooted in a region supported by a variety of organizations devoted to improving the common good. Granor’s “Community Benefit Dinner” series connects diners with regional place-makers with Granor Farm as a philanthropic partner. Our program begins with a discussion orientated around the organization and how it connects to the region, followed by a multi-course meal showcasing ingredients grown by Granor.

Join us for an evening in support of Blessings in a Backpack River Valley which packs weekend meals for food insecure students in our community. For many children their only sourde of consistent nutrition is the food they receive at school. When school is closed, they are less likely to eat full meals which impacts many aspects of their lives including ability to learn. Blessings in a Backpack aims to be sure that students are able to access basic food staples that can be prepared with minimal infrastructure or supervison.
