Join us Thursday, September 10 at 4:30 p.m. for the inaugural An Evening On The Farm at the California State Fair Farm on the Cal Expo grounds. 🌾

Proceeds from An Evening on the Farm will go to the California State Fair Foundation to support the expansion and enhancement of the Farm as a year-round agricultural living classroom and increase its capacity to provide fresh produce to local families. In 2025 alone, the Farm grew and donated over 11,000 pounds of produce to the Sacramento Food Bank. Expanding the Farm and revitalizing its greenhouse could support a more consistent supply of fresh, locally grown food for the community.

This special evening brings together some of the Sacramento region’s most recognizable culinary, agricultural and creative voices, including:

✨ Bobbin Mulvaney — Mulvaney’s B&L
✨ Chef Jodie Chavious — Chavious
✨ Juan Barajas — Savory Café
✨ Maria-Elena “Nena” Rasul — Nena Does Pastries
✨ Tokiko Sawada — Binchoyaki
✨ Jennifer “Jenn” Millsap — Shef Madres
✨ Chef Mitch Vanagten — UC Merced
✨ Les Dames d’Escoffier International — Sacramento Chapter
✨ Acquiesce Winery
✨ Elevation Ten
✨ Great Bear Vineyards
✨ Silt Wine Company
✨ Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse

Enjoy fresh seasonal bites from Committed Chef Growers, California wines and beer, and a one-of-a-kind celebration of our region’s farm-to-fork community — all while helping shape the future of the California State Fair Farm.

🎟️ Spots are limited! Don’t miss your chance to be part of this special evening.
