Join us for a celebration of the food our neighbors cook, sourced locally and prepared with pride and love.

Dinner In My Kitchen is a partnership between CREATE Portage County and Farmshed, that features our friends and neighbors sharing the food that they grew up eating. Culturally authentic, locally sourced, and lovingly prepared, this dinner will feature food from Gifted Hands Kitchen, a family-owned catering business started in May 2021 by husband and wife duo Erica and Deondre West. They have a relationship spanning 14 years and 3 beautiful children Patrick, Zania, and Deondre Jr. Between Erica and Deondre they have 30 years of food service experience, and share a love for hosting events at their home for family, friends, and holidays, cooking delicious southern soul food cuisine that represent their family's Mississippi and Arkansas lineages.

Join us on February 21, 2023 at The Local Goat Company in Amherst. Seating begins at 5:15, bar service will be provided by The Local Goat. Dinner will be served at 6:00 pm. Tickets are available in advance from Farmshed's website. Please reach out to ann@farmshed.org or danas@createportagecounty.org for more information.
