Exciting announcement! 🥳📢
We’re welcoming back a very special chef friend of the farm - you may remember those sweet potato akara fritters from our October A night on the farm 😋— who will be crafting a stunning menu of Gambian and Afro-diasporic dishes using our freshest June crops.
Chef Mar (he/they) is a young chef who started their professional cooking career in the city 5 years ago. Having spent most of his life on the African continent, with African/Caribbean-American roots, he specializes in Afro fusion/diasporic cuisine.
Otherwise, he spends his free time running a Gambian/ Afro Diasporic culinary concept called Nekhna ; where he orchestrates private communal dining experiences.meal prep as well as occasional food vending. He seeks to become a student of indigenous and Global African cuisine while also making dining experiences more accessible and grounded. Within Nekhna, Mar also loves to use his skills to raise funds for those in need or contribute to mutual aid projects.
Expect vibrant flavors, a midsummer breeze, and maybe even a wine pairing to sip as the sun dips low. 🍷🌿
