Growing Together: A Seacoast Eat Local 20 Year Anniversary Celebration

For 20 years, Seacoast Eat Local has been at the heart of a stronger, more connected regional food system, bringing people closer to the farms, fisheries, and local producers who sustain our communities. Growing Together is a celebration of that impact and a meaningful opportunity to invest in what comes next. 

On September 22nd join us at Saltonstall Farm in Stratham, NH, for a  fundraising event brings together farmers, chefs, local businesses, and community members for an evening that highlights the richness and resilience of our local food system. From the moment guests arrive, the experience is designed to feel rooted in place, seasonal, and deeply connected to the people behind the food.

Guests will experience:

• A vibrant cocktail hour featuring local farms and beverage producers, offering small bites and sips that showcase the breadth of the Seacoast’s food community
• A thoughtfully prepared dinner created by local chefs, highlighting peak-season ingredients and telling the story of our region through each course
• Engaging mission moments that highlight the full scope of Seacoast Eat Local’s work, giving guests a deeper understanding of programs that support farmers, expand food access, and strengthen the local food system beyond the markets
• Interactive fundraising activations woven throughout the evening, inviting guests to directly support food access, local producers, and community-driven programs in tangible ways

More than a celebration, this evening is a direct investment in the future of local food. Every dollar raised supports programs that expand access, strengthen community resilience, and ensure that local agriculture continues to thrive across the Seacoast.
