9th Annual Farm Feast
Saturday August 24th, 2024
Fresh Roots Farm
Join us for a Farm to Table Feast
Let us know you’re attending, tickets open in late spring!
MEVO’s Farm Feast was started in 2016 as a way to support our mission work and gather our community around a night of field to plate dishes, live music, and celebration of our programming season and the volunteers, staff, interns, and supporters who made it possible. Since then, it has become a beloved annual event.
The event is planned and curated by a dedicated group of volunteers under the direction of MEVO’s staff. This is truly a home grown event, and we would love to see you there!
Practicing what we preach
Through our Fresh Roots Farming Program, we strive to demonstrate what regenerative and ecologically focused growing looks like. At the Farm Feast, we source as locally and organically as possible (including utilizing our own veggies of course!) below are some of the farms and producers we incorporate into our meal.
Meet our Chef Gabby Aron
Chef Gabby began her small food business in 2016 in efforts to combine her passions for sustainable agriculture with feeding her community, and family style hospitality. Coming from a multicultural food loving background, the seeds for food and environmental justice, access, and education were planted at a young age. Her fondest memories are painting her aunties basil pots, making homemade tomato sauce, and giant cucuzza squashes hanging in her family's urban backyard. Chef Gabby enjoys preparing mediterranean, eastern european, and middle eastern menus in exploration of her family's heritage- but equally loves creating all cuisines of the world in efforts to preserve human culture in relation to our environment. She has worked as a culinary and garden educator, a micro farmer, a CSA coordinator (to name a few), while building her reputation as a farm to table chef and educator.
When she's not cooking, Chef Gabby is an avid music lover and musician, enjoys stand up comedy, painting, and walking around the city enjoying ice cream and Vietnamese food. She lives in Jersey City with her dog Zucchini, and loved ones in the neighborhood.
