HEIRLOOM FOOD AND STORY: A Farm-to-Table Story Dinner celebrating two cultures - East Indian and Pueblo Indian featuring Spoken Word Artists, Larry Littlebird and Shebana Coelho
Seating Limited to 30
Story Dinner is $95 per person
Rancho Gallina, historic ranch inn just south of Santa Fe

A farm-to-table dinner celebrates two families and cultures, the Coelho Family from Bombay, India and the Littlebird Family from Pueblo Indian ancestry.

Held on Thursday, August 27 at 6:00 pm at a Rancho Gallina, a historic ranch inn, minutes from Santa Fe's Southside, the event is a Benefit Fundraiser for Tano Farm at Hamaatsa, a 501c3 non-profit that addresses food insecurity in Indian country and other food deserts in underserved communities in New Mexico.

This story dinner launches the HEIRLOOM FOOD AND STORY SERIES, which rekindles sharing our cultural legacies around a family-style dinner table, deepening our connection to land, story, heritage and each other.

Home chefs, Tanveer Coelho and Deborah Littlebird share East Indian family dishes and farm-to-table fare with Southwest Native inspirations featuring heirloom foods from local New Mexico farms. Together, they have created an exquisite five-course summer repast with spoken word performances featuring master storyteller, Larry Littlebird (Santo Domingo/Laguna Pueblo) and award winning author/director, Shebana Coelho (Bombay, India).

The cost for the story dinner event is $95 per person.

HEIRLOOM FOOD AND STORY is a Benefit Fundraiser for Tano Farm at Hamaatsa, an indigenous continuum and off grid sustainable living farm located on 320 acres of pristine environmentally protected lands, south of Santa Fe.  Once homelands to the Puebloan People, their mission addresses critical issues of food insecurity, malnutrition, diabetes and obesity in Indian country and other food deserts in underserved communities in New Mexico. Through hands-on farming programs, they are committed to mentoring the younger generation of farmers for building resilient communities and restoring local farmlands and watersheds. www.hamaatsa.org/TanoFarm
