Gleaning refers to an age-old tradition of allowing peasants to follow behind farmers to collect – i.e., glean – what the farmers have left or dropped. Agnes Varda’s two films explore and expand the concept and Rialto Cinemas joins in, with a special gleaned dinner experience showcasing the abundance of Sonoma County’s harvest.
Prior to the screening, 35 guests will enjoy a bountiful fall feast, prepared by James Beard Award winner Michele Anna Jordan and Rialto Cinemas’ kitchen team.
The meal will celebrate fall fruit and vegetable gleaning, with assistance from Farm To Pantry, its executive director Duskie Estes, and several volunteers, including Kelly Conrad.
Farm to Pantry will source for Rialto Cinemas’ Kitchen gleaned ingredients for our feast. Although we will not know the exact dishes until then, we have a few details: Dessert will be Quince Strudel, with quince from Michele’s trees. Creamy polenta, with polenta from a local farm, will form the basis of the main course. Look for the Three Sisters – beans, corn, squash – to be represented.
