“A Summer Evening in the Garden,” a fundraising dinner and auction for the Permanent Farmers’ Market, will be on Sunday, August 24 at the Wild Berry Farm on San Juan Island

Enjoy a sumptuous feast of local foods amid the beautiful garden at Wild Berry Farm, and help to create a permanent home for the San Juan Farmers’ Market.

The garden dinner will feature the freshest sea foods, meats and vegetables, fine wine and music. There will be a live auction, which will include items like a Waldron Island Farm Tour and catered picnic, a priceless opportunity to meet Frightful the Falcon (the fastest recorded animal on the planet) and be a witness to his release into the wild, a helicopter ride from Dane Armstrong, an airplane ride from Denny Martel and lots more.

Check out the full list at the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild website, www.sjiagguild.com.

Funds generated by this event will support the Ag Guild’s Permanent Farmers’ Market Project. Tickets are $75 and available at Griffin Bay Books.
