Join us for an unforgettable evening at Soonipi Hollow Farm as we gather to strengthen our community's food, farm, and nutrition security!

Enjoy the taste of summer in the Kearsarge region with a celebration of local flavors, sounds, and scenes:

  • A Farm-to-Table Feast: Catered meal prepared by renowned Chef Bryan Leary of Perspective Catering
  • Live Music: Strings trio Decatur Creek will serenade us throughout the evening
  • Seasonal Cocktails: A special experience with Bluebird Bar Co. traveling bar
  • Gorgeous Scenery: Nestled in Soonipi Hollow Farm amongst lush blueberries
  • Fundraiser: Participate in our Fund-a-Program to directly support the Kearsarge Food Hub’s mission
Why This Matters:
Food insecurity is hitting home right here in our Kearsarge area community. The food insecurity rate is 9.8%, which translates to roughly 11,000 people facing a lack of access to sufficient food in Merrimack County. In the Kearsarge Regional School District, 15.11% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch — that’s over 250 children at risk of food insecurity.

Our Collective Goal:

Beyond enjoying a beautiful summer evening together at Soonipi Hollow Farm, with your help we'll raise $50,000 during the Gala to directly support downstream efforts that catch people when they fall, like operating the Community FREEdge, and strategic, upstream actions that change the conditions altogether for food access and affordability, like leading a food access coalition in the Kearsarge Region. Because we know that hunger is a solvable issue if we work together.

Together we can:

  1. Ensure that all of our neighbors have access to healthy, local food
  2. Maintain the agricultural heritage of the Kearsarge Region
  3. Invest in sustainable farming and build food resilience for our region

We hope you’ll join us for a special evening with friends, neighbors, and fellow changemakers - people who care deeply about the land, the people, and the community that make this region we all call home so special.
