"Tom and I had a great time.  The weather was great.  Chet gave a good tour and has a lovely farm.  The food was wonderful and tasty.  The whole event was fabulous.  There was a demonstration on making a bouquet; she made it look so simple."  

"It was great to hear how we as a consumer can make a difference for the farmers.  By being aware of where the goods come from and selecting local produce and flowers, we can encourage local farmers to grow more.  The event was well planned and executed."
Jane & Tom

"We had a great time.  Ann and Steffani were very impressed with the dinner, the people and the friendliness of everyone.  

It was interesting to hear the Anderson story of how they started in vegetables, then to salad greens and finally to flowers.  His family was one of the first ones that started the farmers’ market and they still sell there.  Whole Foods was at the dinner and they are very instrumental in the livelihood of the farm."

Greenhouse Dinners

Field to Vase Dinner

KB would like to take credit for starting the greenhouse dinner craze.  In 2012, we had one of the first dinners in range II - gerbera house 5.  Nothing is better than a greenhouse full of flowers for an interesting dinner venue. 


I would like to commend the California Cut Flower Commission, Kasey Cronquist, Kathleen Williford and Debra Prinzing for taking the dinners to the next level.  

They are now taking these dinners on the road and across the country to find cool and interesting flower farms to host. 



Karen and I had a great time at the Santa Cruz County Field to Vase dinner at Pajarosa greenhouse in Watsonville (OUR HOME TOWN!!)  

As a result Kitayama Brothers is proud to be a sponsor for the rest of the dinners.  









Take a look at the pictures and future venues.  I suggest you attend.  If you are a friend or family member of KB, we might be able to help you get a seat!  Contact us.
