SUMMARY:Cooking at the Farm: Flavors of Fall

Together\, we will cook a few comforting dishes (vegetarian-friendly) in our outdoor kitchen and enjoy them together in community. Please bring your own knife and cutting board! \nPlease note: kids 15 years or older are welcome \nInstructors: Tamara Kahhale and Auguste Brown\nTamara Kahhale (she/her) is a former electrical engineer turned landworker who worked in climate technology before realizing she wanted to approach the climate crisis through an agricultural\, land-based lens.

As the daughter of Lebanese immigrants\, she has a deep connection to food and believes everyone has the right to eat culturally relevant food in ways that help the planet. She has 1.5 years of professional kitchen experience—both in the kitchen and teaching—and has been a hobby chef and baker throughout her adult life. Tamara has been part of the Alemany Farm team for 1.5 years as a workday leader and garden/nutrition coordinator. \nAuguste Brown (he/him) has volunteered at Alemany since early 2025 and is an experienced home cook. Coming from a background in the climate space\, Auguste is passionate about building food systems that nourish us and our planet alike. As a Bay Area native\, he also gets fulfillment from a deep connection to the land and local seasonality. Auguste firmly believes in the power of food to bring people together\, and has seen this firsthand at Alemany Farm. When not volunteering at the farm\, Auguste works in renewable energy and is always happy to nerd out about batteries or microgrids. \nAlemany Farm\nThe largest agricultural site in San Francisco\, Alemany Farm offers everyone a chance to learn where their food comes from\, pitch in\, and take home fresh produce for free. Learn more below and come get your hands dirty with us! \nSuggested Donation: $55 (includes materials/ ingredients). No one is turned away for lack of funds. Alemany Farm workshops are donation-based and sliding scale to make them accessible to all. Please give at the suggested level or higher if you are able. All donations support the food production and distribution of free food at Alemany Farm. \nAccessibility Information:\nThis workshop will be held outdoors on the farm and in the outdoor kitchen\, which is currently accessible only by stairs. The workshop will include a short lecture/discussion\, a farm walk/harvest\, and then cooking and eating. Alemany Farm is not ADA accessible at this time. Pathways are on uneven ground.
