This fabulous five-course meal also kicks off the SFI 2010 Terre Madre fundraising to send Indianapolis area chefs, farms and food educators to Torino, Italy for Slow Food Internationals bi-annual international convention. This dinner will once again be a delightful celebration of food as a cornerstone of pleasure, culture and community.

This Farm to Table Dinner is also special because it is the first, but not to be the last, SFI Farm to Table Dinner that is 100% Vegan friendly. In our commitment to share Good, Clean, and Fair food for Everyone, we are pleased to share the full richness of seasonal flavors in this meat-free, dairy-free, honey-free meal.
