SFFMI Fall Fiesta Gala
On October 16th, the Santa Fe Farmers' Market Institute is hosting its annual Fall Fiesta gala, one of Santa Fe's most delicious and diverse events. Along with our special guests, Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson, we will be celebrating with fresh harvest food grown by our farmers and prepared by celebrity chefs. Our live auction caters to the local crowd by offering a freezer full of New Mexico meats, private chef dinners, and even a backyard chicken package for those who want to gather fresh eggs right outside their door! We will also have trips to Italy, Hawaii and other great destinations. In addition, you can bid on over 100 silent auction items that reflect New Mexico at its finest - from restaurant certificates to locally-made jewelry, local food and bath baskets, and hand-crafted cookware.

Fantastic music by Joe West & Friends and a presentation that tells the story of some of our distinguished farmers rounds out the celebration. Fall Fiesta is a benefit that helps the Institute expand its programming to support local farmers and ranchers, educate the community about the value of buying locally, and ensure that New Mexico farmland thrives in years to come.

Check out the chefs, menu, our generous sponsors and the live auction items here.
