The Incredible Feast - Where the Farmers are the Stars
The Incredible Feast - Where the Farmers are the Stars
The food is divine - the setting is casual and delightful: a farmers market turned into an outdoor party, with each market tent featuring a different chef and farmer team.
The purpose: to raise awareness about Washington’s amazing local family farms, and to raise money for disaster relief for farmers in need.
We're gearing up for our 4th Feast! Chef Tamara Murphy is has lined up another incredible roster of Seattle's top-notch chefs, with over 30 farmers contributing farm-fresh, seasonal produce, meats, seafood and cheeses. This year the Incredible Feast will take place on Sunday, August 24, 4:30 - 7:30 pm at the Phinney Farmers Market site. Tickets will go on sale starting mid-June on brownpapertickets.com ($65 adults, $10 kids).


With farmland continuing to disappear across the nation (due to development and urban sprawl), it is more vital than ever to support and protect our local farmers, farmland, and the markets where small family farms earn the full dollar value of their products. Farmers markets in Seattle are gaining in popularity and number - yet none of them has a permanent location, and all are vulnerable to new development.
The fundraiser was conceived by Chef Tamara Murphy of Brasa Restaurant and is organized by Chef Tamara and the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance. Tamara’s inspiration for this event comes from her personal experience of cooking with local farm and sea products. She says: “Good dishes can only come from good food…Chefs get all the glory for their creations, but it is vitally important to acknowledge the local farmers who are the backbone of these culinary successes. Citywide farmers markets have made us rethink what tastes good and the value of local, seasonal, sustainably-grown food."
