ACFAZ August Meeting with Keith Sarasin

By

August 10, 2020 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm UTC

4 pm MST | 7 pm EST

GUEST SPEAKER: Chef Keith Sarasin | Founder, The Farmers Dinner

PRESENTATION TITLE: The Future of Farm to Table

BIO: 

Chef Keith Sarasin’s love for food was developed at a young age when he would cook for his mother using old cookbooks that were given to him by his grandmother. He began his culinary career at the age of 15 working at a local sub shop washing dishes and making subs. As the years went on he worked with a variety of restaurants working his way up from Sous Chef to Executive Chef. Keith worked as a private chef before founding The Farmer’s Dinner; a farm to table event planning company. The Farmers Dinner concept came about from Keith’s time working with local farms in the New England area. He wanted a way to support local farms while sharing the stories he learned from his time with various farmers. In 2012 he launched the first “Farmers Dinner” in Nashua, New Hampshire. It quickly sold out and subsequent events followed. Since 2012, The Farmers Dinner has hosted over 81 farm to table events across New England and fed more than 17,000 customers raising over $120,000 for local farms.
In 2019 Keith opened Greenleaf, a farm to table restaurant in NH. He has two books, Perfect Turkey and The Farmers Dinner Cookbook, and a third book releasing in 2021.

Industry Addresses the Coronavirus

It’s all over the news and we can’t avoid it if we tried, everyone is talking about it. The Coronavirus disease, (COVID-19). Painful to watch how this is affecting our economy, uncertain at this point how long or how much impact this will have, and to be honest with you, I’m not sure how much of this I want to take on either.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While doing research, I discovered many aspects of our industry are addressing the issue so rather than me giving you my uneducated opinion and researching this for hours, below is information shared by the different segments within our focus.
