Nona’s Farms, a family run specialty vegetable farm, focused on heirloom variety vegetables, organic farming techniques and sustainable living education, invites you to celebrate autumn with a unique farm to table dinner at sunset overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Pelican Point in Carlsbad State Beach Campground, October 6th.
The autumn harvest five course farm to table dinner will highlight fresh, locally sourced vegetables and ethically raised meats and Carlsbad seafood prepared by one of San Diego’s top culinary masters, Jason Gethin, executive chef at Union Kitchen & Tap, formally with The Prado Restaurant at Balboa Park. With each course, Gethin will provide guests with a background of where the food was grown or raised. The dinner will also be paired with award winning wines. Chris Van Alyea, owner and winemaker of Solterra Wines will speak about the process of growing and sourcing grapes and producing wine in San Diego.

About Nona’s Farms
Nona’s Farms and Educational Center is located in the coastal community of Cardiff, California. The farm grows and sustainably harvests organic vegetables, herbs and flowers. Nona’s Farms gardening methods have been passed down four generations from my family’s great grandmother, Nona who produced food for the family during the summer then stored additional crops for the winter. Through-out the years Nona’s has continued to expand its gardening knowledge to keep current with the times.Today, Nona’s practices sustainable organic gardening using the proper amendments and other important considerations like San Diego’s gardening zone, ecology and even some astronomy. The farms owners have a passion for teaching others how live locally and sustainably and offer classes that teach individuals everything from planting with seedlings and raising chickens to cooking and canning to support happy and healthy friends and families.
