Event

FROM FIELD TO FORK –It’s a Drive-Through

As in the past, this year’s event will feature a delicious meal created by local chefs using produce from Ventura County fields and orchards. With McGrath Family Farms as the backdrop, guests will drive through and pick up their meals complete with entrée, hearty salad, side dish and dessert. Guests will then be invited to return home to dine and enjoy the rest of the “From Field to Fork” farmworker celebration virtually via online viewing. The program will feature presentation of the $3,000 Ellen Brokaw Scholarship to three children of farmworkers, virtual farm tours from the growers who are donating the food, and remarks by John Krist, CEO of Farm Bureau of Ventura County and co-chair of the event planning committee.

YOUR SUPPORT HELPS FARM WORKERS IN VENTURA COUNTY

Although they are essential workers, the men and women who tend and harvest Ventura County’s crops find it very difficult to afford the region’s extremely high housing costs. Too often they pay high rents to live under overcrowded conditions that jeopardize their health and disrupt their children’s education. House Farm Workers! addresses this by educating the public and community leaders about the need for more safe, decent and affordable farmworker housing, and by advocating for its construction.

We invite you to join Brokaw Ranch Co., Farm Credit West, Leavens Ranches LLC, Limoneira Co., Tom and Karen Pecht, Pinkerton Ranch, and Rancho Santa Clara del Norte in sponsoring our 10^th annual “From Field to Fork.” Proceeds will fund the critical education and advocacy efforts of House Farm Workers!
