August 10, 2023: SFEB Potluck with Mariquita Farm

We gathered for an evening of community connection and conversation over a shared potluck meal with special guests Andy and Starr from Mariquita Farm! Summer bounty was upon us, and what better way to celebrate the harvest than by featuring the people behind our produce: farmers! Andy, a local grower in Watsonville, CA, specializes in a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers. A long-time friend of Slow Food, he also contributed produce to our Bean Feed last November, and he brought some fresh goodies for sale to this potluck, too!

Mariquita Farm, like many small CA farms, proudly offered an abundance of delicious tomatoes this time of year, so our food theme for this potluck was red shiny tomato delight! In sauces, salads, and maybe even dessert, guests were inspired by this scrumptious summer nightshade as they prepared their potluck contributions.
