Gathered Together: A Dinner Series for GRP Members - Nadia and Mamba of Baobab Fare

  • Keep Growing Detroit Farm 3100 Orleans Street Detroit, MI, 48207 United States (map)

Are you a member of the Garden Resource Program? Join us for dinner at KGD Farm!

This summer, Keep Growing Detroit will host an outdoor dinner series at KGD Farm bringing together the growers we serve to nurture our relationships through good food and conversation. In 3-4 vegetable forward courses, each dinner will tell a story of how Detroit-based chefs, with influences from around the world, interact with our food landscape - the diversity of crops in our region, the restaurants and places where we gather, and the growers who tend to the land - and how Detroit in turn shapes their food practices. Each course will highlight seasonal produce, grown locally by Detroit-based gardeners and farmers.

These events are for Garden Resource Program members only. We know each dinner will be delicious and it's hard to choose! Because space is limited, please limit ONE DINNER per GRP member. Menus TBA.

Monday, September 12 - Nadia and Mamba of Baobab Fare

Nadia and Mamba came to the Detroit from Burundi in 2014, yearning to start a new life. More than just a restaurant and market, Baobab serves as a safe space for other immigrants and Detroiters alike, knowing that it is a meeting place where all are welcomed and embraced. https://www.baobabfare.com/
