Extra Special Thanks to WWCC Wine Country Culinary Institute & theMaple Counter Cafe!

​

WWV Farm to School partnered with two amazing and generous partners, Walla Walla Community College's Wine Country Culinary Institute and Maple Counter Cafe, for back to back fundraisers in February! Bolstered by generous donations from the growers, producers, and the retail community, many hands had a part in raising over $5,000 for WWVF2S!

 

Chef Robin and her students, hosted a special Capstone lunch service that was nothing short of artistry in food. From start to finish, a delight for all the senses! From Dixie Acres garlic, Chesed mushrooms, Thiessen chuck and much, much more, the ingredients sang! Wine pairings rounded out the experience and diners came away with nothing but praise! We can't thank Robin and her Team enough for their delicious generosity!

 

Just a day later, Rachel, Chef Kory, and the Team at Maple Counter Cafe served up a fabulous spaghetti dinner for all of our friends and community of supporters. Also a delight, featuring Passatempo pasta, Butcher Butcher ground beef, AR Teal's veggies and a host of other locally sourced ingredients, magic happened in the kitchen and made it onto plates and bellies with everyone smiling! To have this event back in person after a two year hiatus was wonderful.

 

Thanks to everyone who hosted, served, donated, and attended these special events! Special thanks to GEM Dani, who coordinated food donations, purchases, thanks and a myriad of details, large and small.
