La Conner Flats is a 230-acre, fourth and fifth generation family farm. Amidst the tulip fields of the Skagit Valley, La Conner Flats is one of twelve Centennial Farms located in Skagit County and is well known for its beautiful gardens and picturesque setting. Each summer, La Conner Flats partners with the Seattle Culinary Academy to give students an opportunity for hands-on learning. Chef instructors and students travel weekly to the farm, where farmland is provided to their program. For seven weeks, the students plant, tend and harvest their produce, as well as hear presentations from local Skagit farmers. In turn, they learn first-hand the critical importance of local food sourcing and sustainable farming, as well as gain a deep respect for the Skagit Valley.
Time: The event will start at 4:30 p.m. with appetizers and tours.
Our Chef: Chef Robert Atterberry is a world renowned chef hailing from Skagit County. The Atterberry family has been recognized as a Pioneer Family of Skagit County, with a long and distinguished history in our community. Robert began his early days in the food industry as the chef on Alaskan King Crab boats. Today, he and his wife Barbara own and operate Bob's Chowder Bar in Anacortes and Avenue Catering in Burlington, and are always present at the Anacortes Farmers Market, which they refer to as "their roots." As an Executive Chef, Robert has overseen the preparation of exquisite meals for intimate gatherings and groups of thousands.
