Farm to Forge – Virtual Edition
Thurs. September 17 5:30 PM Via ZOOM
The dinner table is the gathering spot for family connecting; now it can be the focus for building community and positive change. The food we eat is more than the power that fuels us. It can be power for the soul. It can be power to heal, and it can be the power to promote growth and create change. And not just in the life of an individual, but for the life of an entire community.
We may not be able to get together physically this year for our signature event, but we are still together! Let us bring all that you love about Forge City Works to your home through delivery of this year’s Farm to Forge dinner directly to you. We invite you to join us for a unique remote celebration of our community!
OUR VISION
Making lives better through the power of food.
HOW WILL IT WORK
- Tickets will be sold in advance for $150 with additional add-ons available. Your ticket will include a meal (for two people) made by The Kitchen and delivered to your home (within 20 miles). Pick up is also available.
- We will provide you a link with your ticket purchase to gather on Zoom at 5:30 p.m. to learn about our Food for Good mission through a few short videos – all while enjoying our Billings Forge Cocktail together and delicious appetizers.
- Before we conclude and let you enjoy your entrees:
