LCLT Annual Harvest Dinner
Saturday, October 18, 2025 at the Lopez Center. Doors open at 5pm.
Join us for the “world’s best potluck” to celebrate local farmers and island grown foods! In honor of the bounty and abundance on Lopez, we encourage you to make a dish containing local ingredients, large enough to share with 6-12 others. Local farmers Lexi Krauel (who works at Goosefoot Produce), and Jenny Dewitt (co-owner of Indigo Moon Farm and Fiber) will serve as judges and present prizes in categories such as best use of local ingredients, most beautiful display, and best dessert - so get creative!
Faith Van de Putte of Midnight’s Farm and Coordinator of the Agricultural Resource Committee will share local ag trivia which will be followed by a presentation by Laurie Bullock, Operations Manager of Taproot Lopez Community Kitchen.
Taproot Kitchen - Strengthening the Lopez Food System
Taproot is a non-profit shared-use certified commercial kitchen and food processing facility on island available to the community located off Dill Road. The space is available to rent by the hour to home cooks for personal use, farmers, non-profit organizations, and local business owners. Taproot has played an important role in strengthening the local food system by providing space and mentorship opportunities to local business owners. The kitchen has been undergoing major renovations and its services will be greatly expanded. Laurie Bullock, Taproot’s Operations Manager, will highlight the non-profit's latest milestones and plans for the future. And Natalie Wilson, former owner of Just Heavenly Fudge and LCLT resident, will also join the discussion to talk about her experience with Taproot as a business owner �" from moving out of the village and setting up her operations at Taproot.
Doors open for the Harvest Dinner at 5pm. Max capacity is 125 so come early to ensure a seat and give the judges plenty of time to view the dishes. Dinner starts at 6pm with awards announced after the meal, followed by presentations. Wine will be available for purchase. For a zero-waste event, please bring your own tableware (cutlery, plate, cup etc).
