Sponsorship

Rooted in Land: a Summer Night’s Dream benefits Troy Farm and Rooted’s food access across Madison. 

Partner with Rooted

Help us share the magic of Troy Farm now, and for years to come. 

A local food oasis in the heart of Madison’s northside and a pillar of Rooted’s low-to-no-cost food distribution, Troy Farm, needs your support. Running a full production farm with a lean team and a troop of volunteers takes energy, time, and dedication. Growing  local, organic food for our neighbors is a labor of love, one that needs your support. 

Join us in celebrating the dream of local food that’s grown close to home and shared widely in our community. It’s a dream that is no longer financially supported by the USDA, but we know you see the vision and the reality of what local food systems can be when we all work together. 

Rooted in Land: a Summer Night’s Dream is an outdoor dining experience benefiting Troy Farm on Saturday, July 18th from 5:30pm-9:00pm.

This event will be a magical evening celebrating 25 years of Troy Farm and looking ahead to a vibrant and sustainable future.

An Enchanting Evening Awaits:

Rooted in Land: a Late Summer Night’s Dream, is more than a fundraising dinner, it is an experiential dining experience grounded in what we value: Food grown and shared in an urban setting, land preserved as green space for families, and people coming together to grow what is most important: community.

This is what you and your guests can expect throughout this magical evening: 

Guests arrive and are guided through the gardens, farm, and prairie, enjoying appetizers and drinks.

A delicious multi-course meal prepared by Madison’s best chefs is served under the stars.

Wind down the experience with the magic of dusk in the gardens, great company and the knowledge that together, we can grow healthy, sustainable food systems.
