Deep Roots, Flourishing Future
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
September 28, 2024
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
We are thrilled to welcome our esteemed guest speaker, Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer to celebrate our centennial. Dr. Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated SUNY professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is a MacArthur fellow and the author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants.
Dr. Kimmerer’s vision unites ecology, food, intentional stewardship for the planet, and power of community, and speaks profoundly to the mission of Hidden Villa. Her background in science and indigenous wisdom speaks to the regenerative practices and sustainable modeling that we believe are the way forward for the next 100 years.

As guests arrive mid-afternoon, they will enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres, music, and mingling with friends in our beautiful and whimsical education garden setting. Food and drink will feature seasonal bounty from the farm.

We are honored to partner with renowned local Food and Sustainability Pioneer, Jesse Z. Cool.

Guests will join together at one long table to share a multi-course culinary journey through a family-style meal made from hyper-local ingredients bringing the best of what’s in season at Hidden Villa to your palate.
