Young farmers and Utah chefs will join forces for the annual Community Lunch Series, offered three consecutive Wednesdays during July.

Each week, participants in the Real Food Rising Summer Youth Program work with a local chef to prepare a seasonal meal featuring fresh, organic, local produce from the farm.

The students and chefs will spend time developing cooking skills and learning new recipes, then serve the meals to community members and share stories about their experiences working in the program.

All proceeds benefit the Real Food Rising's farm and youth development programs. This year, participating chefs will come from the Utah Community Action program, Urban Pioneer Foods and the International Rescue Committee's SPICE Kitchen Incubator.
