Join us for a Lunch-and-Learn with Steve Sando, founder of Rancho Gordo. Rancho Gordo is a specialty food company focused on growing and promoting heirloom and heritage beans (as well as grains and spices). Sando will speak on his work in supporting smallholder farms and inspiring a new wave of interest in indigenous bean varieties. His passion has culminated in the best-selling cookbook The Bean Book: 100 Recipes for Cooking with All Kinds of Beans, which has furthered his mission in spreading awareness about the potential of heirloom beans.

Lunch will be served between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Talk from 12:15 – 1 p.m. Those without a meal plan can purchase a lunch ticket for $15.50 at the door.

This program is a part of Dúta Bahiisere Kus Rá’here (We Know Corn Together), a collaboration between the departments of Biology and History, the Farm at Davidson College, Van Every/Smith Galleries, and the Catawba Nation.
