Join us on Monday, September 8th at 4pm for a Farm to Fork dinner featuring garden stories and tasty bites, made with the bounty of LGL, thoughtfully curated by Chef Joel Stocks and the L’Orange crew.

We will begin the evening with a cocktail hour with snacks and stories at 4 pm, followed by dinner & dessert in the meadow at 5:30 pm. Head to lglpdx.eventbrite.com to buy tickets or click the link in our bio.

Joel Stocks ( ) is a Portland local and owner/chef of 🍊 (prev. Holdfast and JEM supper club). L’Orange has accumulated significant notoriety in the two years it has been open, including the NYT 50 list 2024 and Portland Monthly’s best restaurants list. As the restaurant grows, Joel is using his platform and notoriety to give back to the community, hosting events with non-profits. Joel has partnered up with l’🍊 cook, Leadership for Sustainability Education Master’s student, and LGL intern and friend, Annabelle Winking, to raise funds for the Learning Gardens Lab, featuring the bounty of the gardens themselves and beverages from various Portland businesses.

A few Portland businesses have really stepped up for the community and offered to donate their products for the event, which we are eternally grateful for ❤️
