The Village Feast – a Sacramento Valley farm-to-fork tradition like no other – returns Sunday afternoon, Sept. 22, to Davis Central Park in Davis, Calif. Tickets are on sale now for this al fresco celebration of local food and drink hosted by two non-profit organizations – Davis Farm to School and Les Dames d’Escoffier International (LDEI) Sacramento. Since 2018, the Village Feast has raised almost $200,000 for these efforts
Now in its 21st year, the Village Feast found its inspiration in Provence – the French region with a similar climate to Northern California that grows similar crops – and communal fall dinners saluting local bounty. Common culinary threads, such as olive oil and wine, naturally tie together our Mediterranean climates. In Davis Central Park’s outdoor setting with an all locally sourced menu, the Village Feast gives that Provencal “Grand Aioli” tradition a distinctly California flavor.
