FARM
TO TABLE
Presented By THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY FARM BUREAU
The Santa Clara County Farm Bureau continued its successful Farm to Table Harvest Celebration on Saturday , September 20 th at Uesugi Farms Pumpkin Park . The fundraising event brought together farmers , ranchers , elected officials , and community members .
The evening began with appetizers paired to local wines and continued with salad and entrées created by the Epicurean Group ’ s chefs . Each of the eight entrées was paired with a different local wine and included produce from around the Santa Clara County . A steer raised by a local FFA student and purchased at the county fair was used in every entrée dish in a nose-to-tail fashion .

JUST SHARING A FEW WORDS FROM MAYOR STEVE TATE
“ Morgan Hill is a wonderful place to live . I love this city , I cherish its history , enjoy all it has to offer today and very much look forward to the things being planned for the future . I am proud of the leadership roles I have played as a planning commissioner , a city council member and mayor in shaping today ’ s and tomorrow ’ s Morgan Hill .
In my annual State of the City presentation last February , I underscored a strong theme for the year of “ staying the course ,” meaning completing all the projects and activities we already have underway and not starting any large new initiatives . We need to complete our goals for downtown revitalization , general plan update , preservation planning for the southeast area , and upgrading infrastructure ( including flood control ) to the best of our ability .
I have committed and delivered in four terms now , I promise to remain open , honest , respectful and accessible , providing common sense leadership — “ staying the course ” and making Morgan Hill even better ! ”
