2023 Longtable Tickets are now on sale!

Named “The Most Worthy Longtable Dinner of the Summer” by Vancouver Magazine in 2019, the Fresh Roots Schoolyard Harvest Longtable Dinner is back after a 3-year hiatus. Get your tickets to our most anticipated annual fundraiser before they sell out! https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/2023-schoolyard-harvest-dinner-tickets-621141830937

You’re invited for a meaningful, enchanting summer evening on the David Thompson schoolyard farm as we celebrate local food, community, and youth while raising critical funds to support Fresh Roots’ impactful programs.

At $250 per person, your ticket gives your exclusive access to an elegant chef-prepared multi-course, seated dinner, led by Chef TJ of Ono Vancouver and in collaboration with select partner chefs (to be revealed soon!), made with locally sourced ingredients from our schoolyard farms and community partners, and paired with an open bar of a wide selection of wine, beer, and other beverages.

A portion of your ticket supports our youth and kids on schoolyard farms, giving more opportunities for them to connect with their land, food, and community through experiential learning and youth empowerment. Join us as we reminisce on 10 years of impact together while looking forward to what’s to come. Stay tuned for more information about the event!
