Feast on the Farm

Feast on the Farm
Saturday September 19th, 2026
in Carnation, WA

Thank you for attending and supporting our annual fundraiser, Feast on the Farm. It was a joyful night celebrating how local farmers Wendy and Andrew are growing healthy, sustainable food while enjoying a delicious, locally sourced meal prepared by Chef Logan Cox of Restaurant Homer and beautiful live music by Lonesome Finger and Zoser.

Thanks to you, we raised over $116,000 toward our $120,000 goal! Your support makes a tremendous impact, helping to advance our collaborative efforts to clean polluted runoff before it enters our waterways, support sustainable farming, and restore critical habitats for fish and wildlife.

Most of us know that farming is hard under the best conditions. After last winterโ€™s historic flooding, Griffin Creek Farm suffered tremendous losses that will take years to recover from. In recognition of this hardship, a portion of the Feast proceeds will go directly to Wendy and Andrewโ€™s farm to support its ongoing recovery.

We hope youโ€™ll consider making an additional contribution today to show your support. Every gift helps and together we can make a meaningful difference for our farms, waterways, and the communities that depend on them. Donate Here

Feast on the Farm was the first of its kind in the region. The farm dinner supports Stewardship Partners in part by funding its mission of working with landowners to promote sustainable practices. Our long-time hosts, Griffin Creek Farm, are a living example of farmers embracing environmental stewardship. This year, we were thrilled to present the culinary masterpieces of renowned chef Logan Cox of Homer.

Come to the farm and experience firsthand the hope that these practices bring for the health of our environment. With a live auction and raise the paddle, Feast on the Farm is an opportunity to contribute in an impactful way towards a brighter future.

The Chef

Logan Cox is the Chef/Owner of Restaurant Homer and Milk Drunk in Seattle, WA. In the seven years since the opening of Homer, he has received a myriad of accolades including; three James Beard Award nominations for Best Chef Northwest, Seattle Met’s Restaurant of the Year and being named one of GQ magazine’s Best New Restaurants of 2019. Prior to opening Homer, Cox worked in prolific kitchens all across the eastern seaboard but primarily in Washington D.C. While he was cooking in D.C.he was invited to cook at the prestigious James Beard Foundation, in recognition of a Rising Star Chef Award for his work at Ripple Restaurant. He is an avid supporter of local agriculture and wildfoods.

When Logan is not working or cooking in his restaurant he enjoys spending time with his wife Sara, daughter Simone, son Jude and golden retriever Homer.

The Musician

Zoser is a singer/songwriter and music bender whose music has no boundaries. With a soulful voice, thoughtful lyrics, and a guitar, his music shifts seamlessly between pop, hip-hop, R&B, and folk. As an emerging Seattle artist, Zoser began playing guitar when he was just 10-years-old. By the age of 12, he began penning his own lyrics and performing to local audiences in his hometown of Augusta, Georgia. He made his recording debut in 2019 with the EP release โ€œGenesisโ€ followed by the EP โ€œEvolveโ€ in 2020, independently recorded and released. Currently he is working on an album with Loosegroove Records, a Seattle based record label founded by Stone Gossard(of Pearl Jam) and Regan Hagar. Zoser has crafted a sound that is wholly and undeniably his own. The result is something spectacular to behold: a voice that conveys a world-weary ache and a bright optimism, and a sense of musicality that is both rhythmic and infectiously melodic. He is a singer, a storyteller and something of a revelation โ€“ not necessarily a soul singer but something rarer and more precious โ€“ a singer with soul.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and donated to make our Feast on the Farm in 2025 so special! View more about Feast 2025 here!

Griffin Creek Farm – Farming organically since 1996, Griffin Creek is the founding farm of Full Circle farm box service. From the beginning, Griffin Creek Farm has embraced organic and sustainable agriculture as a way of life, an art, and a whole-hearted dedication to caring for the land, employees, natural habitats and food system. 

Carnation Farms – Carnation Farms is a historic 818-acre Farm, once home to Carnation Farm Milk Company, founded in 1899. Equipped with century-old barns and farmland which once housed livestock, the farm is now renovated with a high quality medical facility, swimming pool, sports courts, climbing wall, zip-line and more, making it the perfect spot for campers to enjoy themselves.

Local Roots – Local Roots is a family-run vegetable farm in the Snoqualmie river valley, about 20 miles outside of Seattle. Wife and husband team Siri and Jason, along with a small crew of workers and apprentices, grow about ten acres of vegetables, which we sell at Seattle-area farmers markets, through our Community Supported Agriculture subscription program, and to many fine restaurants.

Oxbow – Oxbow is a 25 acre mixed vegetable, tree fruit and berry  organic farm in the Snoqualmie Valley. After 14 years of selling produce through markets, restaurants, and their CSA, as of 2025 Oxbow now donates everything it grows to food security organizations across King County.


The Chefs

Each year we have a different local chef prepare the meal using Salmon-Safe ingredients, which in turn supports local sustainable farms.

2025 – Chef Brock Johnson joined TD and Co. in 2004 and has worked nearly every job in the Company since. He served as chef of both Lola and Dahlia Lounge before becoming Restaurant Director, affectionately known as โ€œchief of staffโ€, for all of TD and Co. in 2021. All phases of restaurant operations bring Brock joy. Whether heโ€™s standing over an apple-wood fired grill crisping the skin of freshly-caught salmon, mentoring a team member, fixing a sink, or sweeping the floor, all things restaurant truly fill his cup. He leads TD and Coโ€™s efforts to source quality, sustainable, and seasonal product and delights in showing off a perfect ingredient in its simplest form. In his time off he can be found spending time outdoors with his wife Amy and their two children.

2024 – Chef Alan Davis credits the unique and abundant foods, ingredients and inspiring individuals for his lifelong passion in restaurants. Starting in small family-owned restaurants in the Portland area and then moving to Seattle, he was taken with the dueling worlds of the Pacific Northwest food and music scenes. Working at the helm of Belltownโ€™s Queen City Grill for nearly two decades, he had a unique view of that cross section. For the last ten years, he and his wife Jodi have been building their neighborhood restaurant Hound + Bottle in the Manette area of Bremerton. Alan continues to enjoy the opportunities to work with local area farmers, aquaculture and some of the finest chefs in the Northwest.

2023 – Lisa Dupar Catering is known for creating true culinary experiences. They are a chef-owned, woman-led company built on Lisaโ€™s Southern roots, classic training, and modern techniques. With impeccable standards, an abiding love of exceptional food, and 40 years of experience catering in Seattle, they bring your vision to life.

2022 – Our return to Feast on the Farm was a huge success! We had a magical night at Griffin Creek Farm, a Stewardship Partner dedicated to sustainable farming practices. We feasted on the bounty of food prepared by local chef Kevin Murray of Rayโ€™s Boathouse, chef Christina Siegl of 84 Yesler, and oysters from Baywater Shellfish Company prepared by Seabird, of Hitchcock Restaurant Group. 

We raised a glass of Salmon-Safe Willamette Valley Vineyards wine and broke bread with like-minded community members engaged in caring for our region. The night ended with the sounds of Seattle based musician, Kate Dinsmore.

2021 – Once again, we brought Feast on the Farm home with us through meal kits. Together with our chefs’ help, we all enjoyed delicious local food delivered safely to our doorsteps. Nyssa Tanner, Owner, Nyssaโ€™s Kitchen, Mutsuko Soma, Owner and Chef, Kamonegi, and Grant Rico, Chef de Cuisine, Hitchcock, prepared this curated meal using wild sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay donated by Pike Place Fish Market, sustainably grown farm-fresh produce from Full Circle Farm on Griffin Creek and bread from Macrina Bakery. We also received other local artesian goodies to include such as coffee from Caffe Vita and cookies from Hello Robin. Novelty Hill wine and a signature Feast cocktail featuring Tito’s Vodka were enjoyed alongside music by Seattleโ€™s own The High Seagrass and stories from the field.

2020 – The pivot of our yearly event to a virtual experience wouldn’t have been possible without our partners and supporters. Together with our chefs’ help, we all enjoyed delicious local food delivered safely to our doorsteps. The menu consisted of Wild King Salmon, Prepared by Chef Ethan Stowell of Ethan Stowell Restaurants, Wild Foraged Lobster Mushroom Bisque and Smoked Delicatas Squash, Prepared by Chef Joe Ianelli of Harvest Beat, and Griffin Creek Farm’s Fall Harvest Salad, Prepared by Chef Zoi Antonitsas.

2019 – For our tenth anniversary of the Feast, we decided to celebrate with a cast of talented chefs. Joining us this year was Mutsuko Soma of Kamonegi.  Before opening Kamonegi, Chef Soma cut her teeth at restaurants like the Harvest Vine, Chez Shea, and Saitoโ€™s. She then returned to Japan to learn the art of making traditional soba. While studying soba making, Chef Soma discovered that Washington was among the largest buckwheat producing states in the United States. This fact reaffirmed her decision to introduce soba to the Pacific Northwest, an area that has greatly influenced her throughout her career. Returning to cook with Chef Soma are past chefs Branden Karow, the Executive Chef of Ethan Stowell Restaurants, Jason Stoneburner, the Executive Chef at Bastille Cafรฉ & Bar and chef/owner of Stoneburner, and Brendan McGill, the Executive Chef and owner of Hitchcock.

He went on to cook at both Anchovies & Olives as well as How To Cook A Wolf before becoming chef at Staple & Fancy.

2017 – William Belickis is founder of Mistral Kitchen. Belickis’ first glimpse of the Great Northwest left him awestruck; he found its clean, cool beauty inspiring and soon returned to explore San Francisco, British Columbia, and everywhere in between. After making the move to Seattle, he was a chef Fuller’s and Salish Lodge. In 2000, he opened his own restraunt, Mistral in Belltown. Mistral closed its doors in 2008 so Chef Belickis could work on a new, more accessible and experimental restaurant: Mistral Kitchen.
