RFRS x Airbnb with Jered Lawson of Pie Ranch

Real Food Real Stories - Connecting You to the People and Places Behind Our Food
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A special collaboration with Airbnb featuring live storytelling from some of the best Bay Area food makers and farmers. Plus, you’ll always find ingredients from the story in the shared meal.
On March 8th, we have partnered with Airbnb in San Francisco to bring community and the power of storytelling to Airbnb's beautiful HQ in SoMa*, featuring co-founder and co-director of Pie Ranch Jered Lawson. Pie Ranch, located in Pescadero, is an inspiring organization that cultivates a healthy and just food system from seed to table through food education, farmer training, and regional partnerships.

Join us for dinner and drinks sponsored by Airbnb and hear Jered's story advocating for a healthier food system through hands-on farming education. After the storytelling session, stick around for a slice of famous Pie Ranch pie!
