Submitted. Restaurant 62 partners with Cultivate & Co for 2nd annual Cultivate Long Table Charity Dinner at the Chilliwack Corn Maze.
Restaurant 62, the Fraser Valley’s premier destination for elegant urban dining and contemporary regional cuisine is pleased to partner with Cultivate & Co for the 2nd annual Cultivate long table dinner on August 20th at the Chilliwack Corn Maze in support of the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society.
Situated in a beautiful outdoor rural setting, this unique summer dining experience combines both restaurant 62 and Cultivate & Co.’s vision to gather communities through the celebration of local food and build awareness about the importance of the local farm-to-table movement.
The year’s menu will be prepared by two of the Fraser Valley’s foremost farm-to-table culinary influencers – Chef Jeff Massey of restaurant 62 and Bonnie Friesen of Faspa & Co. The four course menu will feature locally sourced, sustainably grown and ethically harvested in-season ingredients from dozens of Fraser Valley farms.
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate home-grown food than with an elegant outdoor dinner party set right in the field where the food’s been grown,” said Chef Jeff Massey, Executive Chef, restaurant 62. “We’re absolutely delighted to be involved and lend our support to this important cause and very special event.”
Net proceeds from Cultivate will be donated to the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society. The program currently provides soup and other hot lunch items to 650 children at 16 schools witiin the Chilliwack School District.
