Yesterday Beka and I had the great pleasure of photographing the “Feasting on the Farm” fundraiser event for the Redlands Conservancy Emerald Necklace Project. The day started with wine and appetizers at the Three Sisters Farm, and later moved up the road to the Powell Farm for dinner, music, more wine and Hangar 24 Orange Wheat beer. Everything was amazing. For appetizers, there were stuffed squash blossoms (hundreds of them, freshly picked that morning), spring rolls and salad on skewers. And for dinner, there were grilled goat tacos in freshly made tortillas, sweet potato hash, black beans, squash, salad with edible flowers and beets. The farms were beautiful, the people were friendly, and the food was delicious. It was one of the best events we’ve been to in a long time. Special thanks to Chef Lee Burton for contacting us about this event and getting us involved. We had a great time, Lee!
