On Sunday, July 19 at the Wiltern Theater, LA Grow will provide a community farm-to-table experience catered by Jennie Cook’s Catering with produce provided by RootDown LA, a South Central based non-profit with a stated goal to to empower high school students to build stronger communities by cooking and growing healthy food, right where they live.

The idea? Bring community businesses together in an event that truly represents healthy eating in action. Mix in some beers, bites, music, and the freshest fare around and you’ve got the makings of something pretty cool.
