MEarth will stage its second-annual “Dinner in the Vineyard” fundraiser on Saturday, June 9, at Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. All proceeds support the stewardship of the Hilton Bialek Habitat at Carmel Middle School and sustainability education for Monterey County youth. Unique to this event will be a zero-waste reception and dinner, forging a partnership of MEarth, Bernardus Lodge, and The Offset Project. The locally-based Offset Project helps “green” events to reduce energy consumption – a key area of focus for MEarth and Bernardus Lodge.
Dinner in the Vineyard is MEarth’s premier, annual fundraiser that benefits the thousands of students, teachers, neighbors and volunteers from across Monterey County who experience, learn, and grow with MEarth at the Hilton Bialek Habitat. On Saturday, June 9, 2012, MEarth will host its second-annual Dinner in the Vineyard fundraiserat Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. The year’s event will be phenomenal – highlighted by a dinner beyond compare, by our Honorary Co-Chair, Chef Cal Stamenov, with locally-sourced sustainable food, featuring vegetables from The Habitat’s own organic garden!Last year’s attendees are still talking about the incredible meal, beautiful locale, terrific silent and live auction items, and community support.
When: Saturday May 12, (10am-12pm)
Where: The Habitat (Green Building)
Workshop presented by the Monterey Regional Waste Management District
Registration Required
Details: Did you know that organic materials represent one-third of what goes into the landfill? By composting your yard trimmings and food scraps you can dramatically reduce waste and at the same time produce a free nutrient rich soil amendment for your plants and garden.
The Backyard Compost Workshop will teach you the basics of composting yard waste & kitchen scraps using both commercially made compost bins and handmade designs. The workshop will provide information on starting and maintaining a home compost bin, troubleshooting, ideas on using finished compost, and the opportunity to see working compost bins.
This event is SOLD OUT! More to come... Check back soon for future events.
Join us on Thursday, April 5 (6-9pm) for this very special culinary event. Proceeds for the event will directly support MEarth's award-winning programs that inspire thousands of students across Monterey County each year.
Only 30 seats available.
Chef John Cox and his team from Casanova Restaurant will create an unforgettable meal, highlighting local ingredients (many grown in our surrounding gardens). Students will help harvest veggies and work side-by-side with the chefs to craft this unique dining experience.
