VEGI Kick-Off Event

This year, V.E.G.I.'s Kick-Off event is an adult-only private ticketed event at the lovely El Sagrado Farm featuring an SLV Farm to Table Dinner!

We have a goal of raising $2500 this year to kick-off our garden season and are inviting community members to help support our effort either through a one-time donation, or by attending this exclusive Dinner event. The meal will feature San Luis Valley ingredients, and the event will feature a presentation on the efforts of the Valley Educational Gardens Initiative to promote community/school gardens and nutrition education in the San Luis Valley!

The event will take place in a 3-story house made out of straw bales and adobe with attached greenhouse, located on an off-grid Biodynamic sheep farm just outside of La Jara, Co, 15-20 minutes south of Alamosa. El Sagrado Farm is debuting itself as a retreat center and educational farm space, with dormitory rooms and lots of farm happenings, so this will be a good sneak peak into the space. Guaranteed baby sheep viewings, good company, and great food, while supporting a tremendous cause for much needed garden-based education for youth in the SLV.

Purchasing tickets is required ahead of time for this event, as seats are strictly limited to 25 maximum, with potential for quick sell-out. No dogs are allowed on the property, and unfortunately this is one event that is not kid-friendly. Otherwise, we hope you can join us for this unique farm-raiser!

For more information on contributing to the Kick-Off fundraiser's overall goal or to inquire about attending this year's Kick-Off event, contact VEGI Director, Claudia Ebel at 719-588-4124 or by email at: director.vegi@lapuente.net. Donation checks can be mailed to 911 State Ave. Alamosa, CO 81101 with "VEGI" in the memo, or made through the donation option on this event page.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to a fruitful Kick-Off season!
