Boots and Bubbles Farm to Table Fundraiser

Support two of our finest local non-profits, Bag&Baggage Productions and Working Theory Farm, at our Farm-to-Table fundraiser featuring some of the best food, wine, and fellowship Hillsboro has to offer. It all starts as you get to 24 acres of leased land, just inside the Urban Growth boundary. Though surrounded by Hillsboro neighborhoods, you'll feel as though you're a hundred miles away. Once on the farm, you're enveloped by fields of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and animals.

Take a tour of the land before dining amidst the fields and forests on Working Theory Farm, enjoying a four-course culinary experience created by our friends Comida KIN at our long community tables. Each course will be paired with a featured local wine, with bubbles wherever possible. Menus will be finalized just before the event, showcasing produce harvested directly from Working Theory Farm. Over the course of the evening, you'll enjoy live music from local luminary Gabe Ballard, as well as Kevin Brussett and his band on the Big Red Bus. You'll also learn a bit more about the incredible missions of two place-making and community-building organizations, and have the chance to win some swanky raffle prizes from our partners in the region.

About Comida KIN:

Husband-and-wife chefs, Mary Hatz and Rodrigo Huerta, of Comida KIN Food Truck will be curating a menu that integrates traditional Latin American cuisine with the abundance of local agriculture for which the Pacific Northwest has become famous.

Mary and Rodrigo have been cooking together since 2005 after meeting in culinary school. After many years of cooking through kitchens in Portland, Comida KIN was established in 2020 and opened for the first time at Working Theory Farm. From there Comida KIN started cooking at the Hillsboro Farmer's Markets and CSA Farms. Mary and Rodrigo quickly noticed the importance of the local farming community and its role in building, and sustaining a better well being in how they choose to eat and live. They serve that passion with their seasonal cooking and community projects.

About Working Theory Farm:

Working Theory Farm is a youth development nonprofit and Certified Organic farm situated in Hillsboro, Oregon. Our mission is to empower youth through the shared work of farming to grow food for partner organizations who distribute this food to families in need.

Our work is focused on providing economic & socio-emotional support to youth affected by housing insecurity, poverty, and the carceral system. Through our employment programming, we offer opportunities to develop job skills and participate in meaningful & engaging work.

Through our programming, we are able to grow an abundance of produce that primarily gets donated to Centro Cultural’s Free Food Mercado program, a free food pantry set up like a grocery store serving primarily migrant Latino communities. In the last five years, we've employed over 25 youth, provided mentorship to more than 100 youth, and cultivated and redistributed 65,000 pounds of organic produce to families in need through partner organizations. You can learn more about us on our website, www.workingtheoryfarm.org
