YES Community Farmer Appreciation Dinner and Food & Water Festival Success!!
Thanks for making the Second Annual Yuba Foothills Food & Water Festival a Success!
The sun has set on the 2nd Annual Yuba Foothills Food & Water Festival, and what a spectacular weekend it was! We’re still buzzing with the energy of delicious food, engaging workshops, 3 amazing live bands, and the incredible sense of community that filled the air.
A Heartfelt Thank You
This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our incredible volunteers, from YES and YFACA crew to workshop presenters. They spent countless hours planning, setting up, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. A huge shout-out to each and every one of them!
We also want to express our deep gratitude to our amazing sponsors, whose generous support made this festival a reality, including:
Celebrating Our Community
A special round of applause goes to all the talented vendors who brought our vision to life. Your delicious food, unique crafts, and passion for local produce made the festival a true feast for the senses. We’re committed to showcasing your expertise and fostering a thriving “local-first” movement in the Yuba Foothills.
Farmers’ Roundtable
Steven Dambeck put the Yuba foothills on the map inviting so many food and farming dignitaries from CDFA, Chico State, UC Davis, Community Alliance of Family Farmers and more.
This was a beautifully facilitated Q &A by Olivia Henry from UCCE between those whose job it is to support local farmers and the farmers themselves. Local wisdom
and insights were provided by an engaged audience and we look forward to continuing this discussion and bringing to life some of the ideas considered.
Farmers’ Appreciation Dinner
A huge thank you to Chef Paul Ladeira, the event organizer Tatiana Kaiser and YES principal and event host Louise Miller. A memorable, music and dance filled celebration of our local farmers to let them know how much we appreciate their hard work. This feast was for them!
Special Host: YES Charter Academy
YES stepped up for both days and Louise Miller reminded us how active YES has become as a food hub in the foothills and an innovative leader in the California Schools Farm to Fork world.
A big thanks to the YES Council and staff (thank you Debbie, BreAnne & Charity and teams!) who made this event run so smoothly and raise the standards to such a professional level.
