Marin Country Mart is pleased to host a special fundraiser to benefit Marin Organic, whose mission is to promote organic agriculture in Marin and beyond. The harvest festival, “Bounty of Marin Organic,” will be held on October 11 from 5 - 9 pm in Marin Country Mart’s Big Tent. Celebrating the bounty of local farms, the event invites adults and families to join the fun, savor food and wine from the region, and meet the farmers who feed us and produce the food we love. The festival features farmers who share the produce they have been cultivating all summer and local chefs who join them to showcase their creativity.
Five different options are available for guests to taste and enjoy, ranging in price from $25 – 100. From 5 – 7 pm, wine and food tastings feature delicious bites and sips, including cheese, oysters, meatballs, olive oil – and ice cream for kids of all ages from Straus Family Creamery. Two workshops welcome guests eager to learn more – one on cheese by Cowgirl Creamery and Toluma Farms, the other on oysters from Hog Island Oyster Bar. A number of silent auction items sure to tempt bidders include special experiences for dining, lodging, adventure and desirable services.
For visitors hungry for more, chefs from some of Marin’s most sustainable restaurants are collaborating on a family-style dinner from 7 – 9 pm, prepared with produce from Marin Organic farmers. Organized and directed by Chef Matthew Elias of Saltwater Oyster Depot, the dinner features a whole hog roast from True Grass Farms; various sauces; numerous side dishes including greens from Farmshop made with Marin Roots produce, charcuterie from Belcampo Meat Co. and Italian cowboy beans from Osteria Stellina; a selection of salads; Gruyère cheese bread and pickled jalapeño bread from Parkside Café; and for dessert, an apple tarte from Rustic Bakery made with Nana Mae’s Organics’ apples. Dinner includes beer and wine. Marin Organic Executive Director Jeffrey Westman will give a short presentation at the dinner honoring over a dozen Marin Organic farmers on hand for the day’s festivities.
According to Mr. Westman, the harvest festival is one they hope will become an annual event. “Marin Organic is very excited to launch this food and wine tasting celebration, which showcases both farmers and their wares at harvest time. In concert with local chefs and Marin Country Mart, visitors can sample, enjoy and learn more about the bounty from Marin County and beyond that enriches and nourishes us.”
Diana Rodgers, Marin Country Mart’s Special Events Manager, expressed similar enthusiasm about the event. “Marin Country Mart has featured a weekly Farmers’ Market since 2010 and have seen first-hand through the years the importance and mutual benefit of bringing together local farmers and customers," said Ms. Rodgers. "In fact, a key mission of Marin Country Mart is to support local farms and create synergy among Marin County farmers, our Farmers' Market and our restaurants, which feature many Marin Organic farmers. With this in mind, we’re very pleased to support Marin Organic’s efforts and this fall fundraiser in particular.”
In addition to farms and restaurants already mentioned, event purveyors include County Line Harvest, Star Route Farms, Gospel Flat Farm, RedHill Farms, Mindful Meats, Left Bank, Marshall Store, Stemple Creek Ranch, Allstar Organics, Green Gulch Farm (photo above left) and more.
