Multi-Location

We’re taking our talents to the farm! Chefs For Farmers and the Seed Project Foundation have curated an interactive farm tour, where some of our favorite family-run farms will be opening their gates to give guests fun, hands-on experiences. Get ready for a fun-filled day of supporting local agriculture with Texas-made drinks and seasonal dishes from three of the area’s best chefs.
