The 2nd Annual Harvest Seed Dinner is a celebration of North Carolina’s rich agricultural heritage and vibrant culinary talent. This unique fundraiser offers more than just a memorable evening; it is an opportunity to honor the farmers, growers, and producers who sustain our communities, while supporting programs that nourish our community. 

At the Harvest Seed Dinner, guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated menu crafted by local chefs who are passionate about seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. These chefs are more than culinary artists—they are advocates for sustainable food systems, champions of local farms, and storytellers who bring the harvest to life on every plate.

Participating Chefs:

• Chef Luke Owens — Native Fine Diner, Greenville - NC Chef Ambassador

• Pitmaster Matt Register — Southern Smoke BBQ, Garland

• Chef Kyle Fletcher — Glasshouse Kitchen, Durham

• Chef Ricky Moore — Saltbox Seafood Joint, Durham - NC Chef Ambassador

This event is about more than a meal—it is about mission. Our purpose is simple yet powerful: to Revive Communities through Food. That means using food not only to nourish, but to connect, restore, and empower. We believe that sharing a table can bridge divides, strengthen relationships, and spark change. From the soil that yields the harvest, to the hands that prepare it, to the hearts that give in support, every element of this event works toward building a future where local farms thrive, neighbors are cared for, and everyone has a place to belong.
