Join us on September 17th for LUSH Valley’s third annual Farm to Table Fundraiser!
Fall in love with the flavours of our valley—the fond, the familiar and the farmers’ favourites.
LUSH Valley’s third annual fundraising event at Amara Farm will take place in two seatings. Both lunch and dinner will start off with a farm tour and canapés, followed by a family-style service for tables of eight. The meals will be primarily plant-forward, highlighting the late-summer abundance of our Valley.
The Farm to Table menu will feature local ingredients playing with global street food influence. Guests will enjoy the rich, abundant flavours of the Comox Valley through a series of dishes prepared by LUSH Valley in partnership with the Farmer’s Kitchen Food Truck.
We will be serving handcrafted cocktails and mocktails incorporating seasonal influences, along with beer from Cumberland Brewing Company and cider from Raven’s Moon.
Also available throughout the evening will be our 50/50 raffle and silent auction.
Take in the serenity of Amara Farm, celebrate local food, drink and music while supporting food security programs and advocacy in the Comox Valley. Join us for our 2023 Farm to Table Fundraiser!

ABOUT THE PARTNERS
The Farmer’s Kitchen Food Truck draws inspiration from a variety of global street vendors and puts a vibrant twist on dishes by highlighting local, in-season ingredients. For over two years, the Farmer’s Kitchen has been collaborating with LUSH Valley on fundraising events, catering and the Hot Meal program.
Amara Farm was established in 2012 by Arzeena Hamir and Neil Turner who shared a dream to grow healthy food for their community. The Farm received its certified organic status in 2015 and has since earned awards such as the Land of Plenty Award (2018) and the Comox Valley Record’s Best Market Vendor (2019).
