Get ready to eat & drink locally, my friends: the 2nd annual PHeaSt at the Navy Yard is tonight!

Chefs & urban growers from around our region prepare seasonal dishes to benefit the PHS City Harvest program, which provides fresh, nutritious produce to under-resourced neighborhoods. City Harvest feed over 1200 families each week!

The lineup of 30 chefs includes Marc Vetri, Talula’s Garden Aimee Olexy , R2L’s Daniel Stern, Supper’s Mitch Prensky and many more, whom collaborate with 10 PHS City Harvest Growers for a true organic and Garden-to-Table experience. Local growers include Chester County Food bank, Farm 51 (Kingsessing), Henry Got Crops CSA (Saul Agricultural High School) and more. Expect to see popular fall produce like butternut squash, beets, leeks, fresh herbs and kale.

This year also debuts a new feature: organic cocktails from local distillers like Art in the Age Craft Spirits (with popular treats ROOT, SNAP, RHUBARB tea and SAGE), Dad’s Hat Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey and more.

Make sure to Tweet, Facebook & Instagram throughout the evening, or request your fav song by tweeting #PheastJams.

Online sales are closed for tonight but VIP & General Admission tickets will be available at the door – $300 for VIP (6 PM) and $150 (7 PM) General Admission.
