A Taste of Hope
A Taste of Hope. ExtraFood's culinary afternoon at Marin Country Mart in Larkspur
Join ExtraFood for A Taste of Hope, an afternoon celebrating great food, community, and the power of food rescue. On Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 3:00 to 5:30 PM, Marin Country Mart in Larkspur hosts a special culinary experience built around ingredients that would otherwise go to waste, turned into inventive, sustainable dishes that prove rescued food can become something extraordinary.
Chefs Turning Rescue Into a Real Meal
The afternoon is created by acclaimed chef David Murphy, a former Top Chef contestant, and artist and climate advocate Kayla Abe, co-founder of San Francisco's celebrated Shuggie's. Together they transform perfectly good ingredients rescued by ExtraFood into plates that show what food waste can become when craft and purpose meet.
Stories, Entertainment, Drinks & Auction Energy
Beyond the tasting, expect inspiring stories of impact, live entertainment, drinks, and auction experiences. The tone is celebratory rather than stiff, a Larkspur gathering for people who care about feeding neighbors and wasting less.
Why ExtraFood Matters in the Bay Area
ExtraFood's mission is to rescue surplus food and get it to people who need it throughout the Bay Area. A Taste of Hope raises support for that work under a simple banner: Feed More. Waste Less. Buying a ticket is both a seat at the table and a direct vote for keeping good food in the community.
