Events in Marin: December 2022

November 21, 2022

A long dining table full of people sharing food together sits outside in a field in the evening, with a barn and string lights in the background at a field-to-fork event on the land.

It’s the season of giving so we are gifting you with a roundup of local events on the land in Marin this December! As the weather is cooler and fields are harvested, we have the opportunity to look back on the abundance of the past summer and fall seasons with gratitude.

To enjoy these final weeks of 2022, I’ve highlighted events and activities below that give back to and connect us with the natural and working lands of Marin, as well as the entrepreneurial “maker” communities that provide us with food, fiber, and crafts with their hard work and talents.

I invite you to share in a moment of gratitude – while you sit to celebrate with friends and family this coming holiday season – for the abundance that is born from the beautiful land around us and all our local agricultural community helps bring to our tables.
