We are delighted to welcome Community Table back for 2022. This beloved event brings a renowned chef to our farm to design an ecological meal around our four seasonal rotations (market garden, milpa, berries, cover crops). By bringing these culinary artists back to the source, we give them an opportunity to connect with new ingredients, find fresh inspiration in our bioregion's historic foodways, and discover the rewards of relationship with the land.

CHEF OSAR TORRES

A Los Angeles native, Oscar Torres began his culinary career early—joining the family business, Mexican restaurant Mariscos El Chino, as a child. His formal culinary education began in his high school’s culinary program and ended with a position under Chef Christophe Eme at Los Angeles’ Michelin-star restaurant Ortolan. Amid a stint as Executive Sous Chef at Patina in the Walt Disney Concert hall, Chef Oscar spent a month staging at Daniel in New York City. His deep dive into classic French cooking informed his diverse palate, resulting in a signature style featuring local and seasonal ingredients in globally influenced cuisine. He currently serves as executive chef at Animalon by the Sea, a seasonal, fine-dining restaurant nestled under a 200-year-old oak tree in Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe wine country.
