Harvest Feast

By Matt Kirouac
Kendall College

Before you get all feasted out this holiday season, one particular smorgasbord to consider is the harvest feast being held at Kendall College on November 17. Four female chefs head up the culinary talent behind the event, showcasing seasonal wares from Spence Farm in Fairbury, Illinois.

The harvest feast kicks off at 6:00 pm with an hors d’oeuvres- and drinks-filled reception, followed by dinner at 7:00 pm. Chrissy Camba from Bar Pastoral, Nicole Pederson from Found, Mindy Segal from HotChocolate, and Molly Johnson from Calihan Catering are the chefs du jour, cooking up a four-course feast celebrating the season and the farm. A few male compatriots will also be on hand, including Jonathan Goldsmith from Spacca Napoli, Josh Hasho from 676 Restaurant Omni Hotel, Thomas Leavitt from White Oak Gourmet, and Sean Sanders from Browntrout. A live and silent auction will also take place, and proceeds from the event go towards the Spence Farm Foundation.

The Spence Farm Foundation serves to endorse and promote the practice of small, sustainable family farming across the country. The foundation hosts classes, workshops, and seminars about farming, informing attendees about techniques and their benefits, and ultimately how small family farms can survive and thrive.
