Muir Ranch to Host Farm-to-Table Dinner Friday

The urban farm at Pasadena's John Muir High School will provide a multi-course meal sourced from the local farm and Los Angeles area artisans.

The student farmers at John Muir High School’s Muir Ranch will get to show off the fruits—and vegetables—of their labor when the ranch hosts the Your Plate, Our Farm Dinner on Friday night.

The three-acre farm, which is the largest school garden in the San Gabriel Valley, functions as a Consumer Supported Agriculture program and is a Pasadena Educational Foundation-sponsored project to teach kids how to grow food and run a business.

John Muir students have sold Muir Ranch vegetables and flowers at the Altadena Farmers' Market and Pasadena Farmers' Market.
