Guests will hear from new CEO Kesha Dorsey and other farm leaders about the organization's plans, including changes to its programs and efforts to ensure long-term sustainability.

The event will also feature seasonal dishes inspired by what is growing in the farm's fields and gardens.

"Together, we will celebrate a decade of impact, welcome new leadership, and cultivate the philanthropic support needed to sustain and deepen the farm's work in the years ahead," Board Chair Michael Berlin said.
