The Joshua Levine Memorial Foundation and Slow Food East End will host “A Moveable Feast”, an evening of celebration, honoring Joshua Levine and supporting the School Garden Project on the East End. “A Moveable Feast,” which is now in its ninth year, will take place on April 7, 2019, from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at Dodds & Eder Landscape Design Showroom in Sag Harbor. As a result of this event, the East End of Long Island has grown into one of the largest, most successful school garden programs in the United States, 30 schools in all!

“A Moveable Feast” not only celebrates the legacy of Joshua Levine and supports School Gardens, but it is the kick-off of the spring season and the waking up of the earth and our community after a long winter. Everyone is ready for a great party with exceptional food and drink, along with music that will get you up on your feet. Year after year, the best chefs, food, and beverage purveyors on the East End have gladly participated in “A Moveable Feast” as supporters of Slow Food and its mission. Here’s why:

“Building a sustainable farm and food community on the East End s important and rewarding. Local food businesses need to support each other to make this movement a reality.”  – Carissa Waechter, Carissa’s Breads

“ I love the camaraderie of being with like-minded folks in the industry who are dedicated to feeding people what is good for the body, soul, and planet.”  – Cheryl Stair, Art of Eating

“School Gardens are setting the stage for a new generation of inquisitive, healthy and conscientious eaters – the Future is in the Garden”  – Megan Schmidt, The Good Farm Delivery

Want to sponsor a School Teacher, Farmer, Fisherman or Forager?  Help us show our appreciation to some of the folks who teach, grow, catch, hunt or gather our magnificent local food.

There are also Sponsorship and Silent Auction opportunities that will keep the School Garden Project flourishing and provide funds for three Master Farmers and Mini-Grants to be used for the purchase of garden tools, supplies, and materials. Our mission of Growing Healthy Kids, One Garden at a Time promotes good farming practices, education, a sustainable environment and healthy eating for children and their families.
