Sunshine and smiles filled a blooming garden event, Grow: a Springtime Sisterhood Social & Fundraiser at Lisa Matar’s home in Monte Sereno, CA on Sunday, May 7th.
Invited Bay Area guests enjoyed tea and champagne, farm fresh plant-based culinary treats and a lively table talk with Lisa Matar, founder of Health Bear Foods, Chris Laughlin, farmer and founder of Sea-to-Sky Farms, and Johanna Mahal, Philanthropy Director of Opportunity International.
Moderated by Stefanie Lingle Beasley, co-founder, and partner at Beasley McCusker PR, the three featured female speakers shared how they got their start in farming, food creation and philanthropy, and how they are interconnected in their desires to make the world a better place through sustainable practices of earth stewardship, planet-based, low carbon dietary options and climate resilience programs for global farmers living in ultra poverty.
