This is the ultimate pass for an amazing line-up of events!
The first event, the Chefs' Harvest Potluck dinner, will take place on Thursday, November 1, from 7 9 pm, at the Town Commons in Carrboro, NC. Tickets purchased before October 15 are $55 and the dinner will feature dishes from 20 top chefs in the Triangle, including Andrea Reusing from Lantern, Sara Foster from Foster's Market, Sean Fowler from Mandolin, Adam Rose from Il Palio, Kevin Callaghan from Acme Food & Beverage Company, Seth Kingsbury from Pazzo, Vimala Rajendran from Vimala's Curryblossom Café, Jim Nixon from Panzanella, Marshall Smith at Glasshalfull, Aaron Vandemark from Pancuito, Sam Suchoff from The Pig and more. All the featured chefs use Carrboro Farmers' Market as a consistent resource for ingredients and 100 percent of the money raised through ticket sales will go to the Market for physical improvements to its current location.
"We are excited to partner with TerraVITA and raise money to improve the Markets' physical grounds to better serve our farmers and our community," said Sarah Blacklin, market manager for the Carrboro Farmers' Market. "We also are looking forward to hosting this great experience for our farmers and community to celebrate local food together. It will showcase the talent of chefs right here in the Triangle and lay the groundwork for future fundraising efforts."
On Friday, November 2, from 9:30 am 4:15 pm, TerraVITA will host the Sustainable Classroom a combination of culinary workshops, tastings, and beverage and food demonstrations featuring food and beverage experts and aficionados.

Each session lasts one-hour and fifteen minutes and will include multiple experts specializing in different facets of food and/or drink. One session pairs chef and cookbook author Bill Smith from the James Beard-winning restaurant Crooks Corner with author Sheri Castle to offer tastings of some of their personal recipe favorites while discussing the whims and woes of what it takes to put together a winning cookbook. Another session combines cheesemonger Alexander Kast with chef instructor Breana Lai, and sommelier and proprietor Inez Ribustello to do the ultimate wine, cheese and food tasting. There will be eight sessions to choose from and each guest may select a maximum of four sessions to attend throughout the day.
