This dinner is about celebrating the hard work that farmers do throughout the year and all who support them. The night will feature a farm-to-table dinner featuring locally raised meat, produce, grain, beer, & wine. Plus a silent auction, live music and of course great company.

A Midsummer Night’s Feast
5th Annual Good Farm Fund Benefit
Tuesday, July 23rd | 7-9 PM | Yokayo Ranch, Ukiah

This event has become the most beloved farm-to-table experience of the summer! A Midsummer Night’s Feast is a fabulous showcase of our region’s best food & culinary talent, featuring the people who feed our community, from shovel to fork.

Local food doesn’t get better than this. In one summer evening we bring together about 20 of the area’s “local-food-forward” chefs and pair them up with our best local farms and ranches to collaborate on one of a kind seasonal plates.

Libations will include local beer, wines, designer mocktails, and the crowd-favorite craft cocktails made with locally distilled spirits from American Craft Whiskey Distillery.

Hosted outdoors at the beautiful & historic Yokayo Ranch, the evening also includes live music, a farm tour, and a silent auction.

Tickets: $125 – includes all food & beverages. We expect to sell out, but if tickets are available at the door they will be $150. Courtesy note: no dogs or other pets, please.

Onsite lodging is available at Yokayo Ranch for the night of the event. However camping spots are extremely limited so place your reservation via Brown Paper Tickets today before they are gone.

Eat Well. Do Good.

Event proceeds directly support our Farm Grant Program that provide crucial funding for infrastructure development projects on local farms, and helps support the EBT/Food Stamp Match program to ensure access to healthy food for all members of our community.

Our event sponsors’ generous support is humbling. Their help and encouragement ensures that the funds raised through ticket sales, silent auctions, etc. goes to funding our important work. Thank you.

Buck Thrifty will be joining us this year at the 4th Annual Midsummer Night’s Feast to benefit the Good Farm Fund. Kickin up a cocktail of the uniquely infused flavors of Folky-Punky-Bluesy-Swing, this raggedy crew of streetwise fashionistas is ready to serve up some seriously poppin’ grooves.

With a mobile musical menagerie of two to ten players and an enigmatic style that commands any crowd, Buck-Thrifty knows no limits in perusing the progression (or dare we say, regression?) of the Pacific Northwest’s festivale of folk fusions. So what do they mean by all that? Simply that they promise to supply saucy sounds that set your boots to stompin’ and your booty to shakin’.

Our event sponsors’ generous support is humbling. Their help and encouragement ensures that the funds raised through ticket sales, silent auctions, etc. goes to funding our important work. Thank you.
