Oxbow Farm & Conservation Center

This is a supremely strong pairing of farm and chef. Last year’s event was one of our most inspiring to date. Oxbow is a 240-acre non-profit farm, protected forest, conservation and education center dedicated to regenerative agriculture, environmental education, and native plant restoration. They grow a huge amount of organic produce for the Seattle community, including hunger relief organizations and local schools. Melissa Miranda is a deeply conscientious and talented chef who draws inspiration from the Filipino flavors and food traditions of her childhood. During the pandemic, she converted her Seattle restaurant Musang into a community kitchen serving those in need. We are thrilled to see what she brings to the field kitchen this time around — we’re still thinking about last year’s local cod with calamansi vinaigrette.
