Join us for a unique farm-to-table experience that will bring you in direct contact with our land, the food that it yields, the farmers that tend the land and crops, and the chefs who transform the food into a nutritious and satisfying meal.Station 1 Restaurant

Chef Ryan Harris and his talented team from Station 1 in Woodside will prepare a gourmet, multi-course meal featuring fresh, local ingredients harvested from Pie Ranch. All served with wines from Thomas Fogarty Winery and Vineyards and Bonny Doon Vineyards.

After dinner, we will continue the celebration with a Barn Dance to live music and some of our freshly baked pie with ice cream thanks to Companion Bakeshop and Penny Ice Creamery!

All proceeds from this event will fund programming that teaches youth about healthy food and communities, trains emerging farmers and creates a more sustainable food system. Pie Ranch is a 501 (c)3 non-profit.

“This Land is Your Land” – Food for Thought

Woody Gutherie’s classic folk song, written in 1940, is a broad, brush stroke of the beauty of the north American Landscape and a glimpse into the ecological and social dimensions of land use. It compels us to question whose land this is, really, and how do we relate to it such that we can create a fair and just food system.

There are additional verses that are left out of most recordings and song books, but were part of the original intent, and to us, affirm the goals of dedicating lands to public use and local food production to feed people.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.”
But on the other side it didn’t say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.

Nobody living can ever stop me.
As I go walking that freedom highway,
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I’d seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this the land made for you and me?
