Cocktails in the Garden: Summer Fundraiser

Join us at The Yellow Farmhouse Education Center on Friday, July 10th, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM for a festive summer evening celebrating this year's Seven Seeds Honorees—an inspiring group of educators, farmers, chefs, and food advocates dedicated to cultivating a healthier, more sustainable food future. Held at 389 North Main Street in Stonington, Connecticut, this special gathering brings together our community to honor those making a lasting impact through food, education, and stewardship.

Enjoy a vibrant evening featuring farm-forward hors d'oeuvres, garden-inspired craft cocktails, and meaningful conversations about the power of food to connect people and strengthen communities. Celebrate the achievements of this year's Seven Seeds Honorees: Ann Finnegan of Ledyard High School, Barbara Mann of Montville High School, David Standridge of the Shipwright's Daughter & Mystic Fish Camp, Dr. Ivette Ruiz of Healing By Growing Farms, Pete Higgins of Stone Acres Farm, Reneé Touponce of Oyster Club & The Port of Call, and Vetiveah Immanuel of Radiance Gardens & Liberated Land Cooperative.

Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate local leaders, enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience, and support Yellow Farmhouse Education Center's mission to empower children and adults with the knowledge and skills to grow, cook, and care for food in ways that honor both people and the planet.
