Farm Pollinator Dinner & Soirée
Sugar & Olives supports CT NOFA's mission to ensure the growth and viability of organic agriculture, organic food, and organic land care in Connecticut.
Executive Chef and Sugar & Olives Owner Jennifer Balin believes that together, businesses and communities can improve our food system. To that end, we would like to invite you to join us on Saturday, June 2 at Sugar & Olives in Norwalk for an exclusive dinner party hosted by Chef Balin.
We will feast and celebrate bees, butterflies, and all the local organic farmers who provide pollinators good habitat and in by doing so, gives us all a bit of hope for the future. Dinner will be followed by a "Pollinator Party" with dancing into the late evening.
Sugar & Olives seeks to educate diners and cultivate the relationship between farms and families. Our summer dinner with Chef Balin will feature a wonderful selection of local, organically-grown produce harvested to achieve maximum nutritional value.
