THE FARMER SERIES DINNER

One out of every four children in America does not know where their next meal will come from, and nearly a third of those are under five years of age. Studies show that undernourished children are unable to focus in school, and they suffer from lifelong emotional and health problems. Because of these staggering statistics, Chef Alan Wong has partnered with the national organization, Share Our Strength, to raise funds for Taste of the Nation, Share Our Strength's largest, longest running, and most successful fundraising arm.

To kick off 2012's Farmer Series Dinners at Alan Wong's Honolulu, the proceeds from this first dinner will be donated to Taste of the Nation. Share Our Strength's campaign, "No Kid Hungry"™, aims to end childhood hunger in America by 2015. Hawaii's proceeds will benefit Share Our Strength's efforts which include local beneficiaries 'Aina in Schools (a program of The Kokua Foundation) and the Hawaii Foodbank.

Featured at the Farmer Series Dinner will be Alex Franco, Managing Director of Kaupo Ranch on Maui. He will be representing Maui Cattle Company (MCC) which is comprised of six Maui ranch operations that strive to reinvigorate the agricultural lifestyle through the establishment of a sustainable ranching industry. They are dedicated to raising their cattle in a natural environment free of hormones, antibiotics, and artificial ingredients. MCC prides itself in their stock of cattle that produces island-grazed, all-natural beef of superior quality to island tables.
