we’ve learned so much since this evening of expressive and experimental music, and carefully curated plant based menu. we seated 40 people. we only sourced enough ingredients based on the number of reservations. reservations were sliding scale $40-60+. we believe everyone should have access to yummi food, so we offered trades for folks that would not been able to afford to attend.

for this special night, we focused our efforts on food waste. we live in a hyper-consumptive world in which food waste contributes to the single most common material landfilled and incinerated on turtle island (aka the U.S.). ꕤ we tasked ourselves with using as many parts of the produce we prepared as possible, and brought remaining composable materials to a local farm called sarvodaya farm.
