Proceeds from the event will fund our annual grant, which supports local farmers, chefs, and food producers, helping to sustain and enhance the availability of fresh, local food in Saline County.
“We are so excited to showcase five local chefs, one of which will be a new chef from Lindsborg, KS along with the USD 305 culinary students, led by instructor Linda Edson” said Kirsty Hartley, board president.
The event will feature a stellar lineup of five distinguished local chefs, each preparing an exquisite menu that highlights the best of our region’s seasonal ingredients. Attendees will enjoy a series of meticulously crafted courses, each paired with locally sourced beverages, providing a truly immersive dining experience.
“We are also asking all attendees to bring canned fruit or vegetables for the first annual Feast on the Fe food drive to benefit the Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank. We wanted to do more to help the food insecurity issue seen in Salina and thought this would be a good place to start” Hartley said. There will be boxes at both check-in tables, on the north and south side of Santa Fe, to put your canned food donations.
