SUMMARY:10 Years of Grace Farms | Benefit Sunset Dinner
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to step into a culinary adventure that redefines dining — a mesmerizing journey through the world of color where gastronomy meets art in the most unexpected ways. \n2 – 4 pm: Conversation & Music: A Decade of Grace and Peace | Celebrate 10 Years of Grace Farms with music from world-renowned musicians\, Joshua Bell and Arlen Hlusko\, and a can’t-miss discussion with Grace Farms’ CEO and Founder Sharon Prince\, Chief Strategic Officer and Founding Creative Director Chelsea Thatcher\, and Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA\, the visionary architect behind the River building\, in conversation with Toshihiro Oki\, Grace Farms Architecture Advisor. Registration is separate. \n5 – 6 pm: Reception & Handcrafted Cocktails | Join us around the Pavilion mingling with fellow guests while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views as the golden hour begins. \n6 – 8 pm: Exclusive Sunset Dining Experience | Savor an extraordinary culinary journey prepared by our renowned\, spectacular caterer known for exceptional gastronomic artistry. This special evening brings together remarkable Grace Farms alumni who have shaped our community over the past decade. \n8 – 9 pm: Moonlight Toast in the Plaza | Gather in the Plaza for artisanal desserts and a premium champagne toast to ten years of Grace Farms’ legacy and vision. \n\nTo achieve unprecedented outcomes\, Grace Farms brings together extraordinary leaders and organizations to create unique programs and global initiatives that align with our work in nature\, the arts\, justice\, community\, and faith. \nOver the past ten years\, Grace Farms Foundation has welcomed thousands of visitors and hosted world-class performers\, artists\, and speakers\, fostering a space for contemplation and meaningful dialogue. Guided by our commitment to justice and ethical practices\, we launched the Design for Freedom movement to eliminate forced labor from the building materials supply chain — a bold step toward transforming the industry. Building on this vision\, in 2021\, we created Grace Farms Tea & Coffee\, a public benefit LLC and certified B Corp\, to share Grace Farms through our ethically and sustainably sourced signature teas and coffees\, while giving back 100% of profits to the Design for Freedom movement. \nAs we celebrate our 10 Year Season\, we reflect on these achievements and look forward to continuing our mission to create more grace and peace in the world. The possibilities remain as vast as our landscape\, and we invite you to be part of the journey.
