Stomp out hunger with Foodlink for Tulare County on Saturday, March 24, at their Root Stomp Garden Party. Planned is a family-friendly garden party where blues and folk music combine for a stomping good time.

“We’ll have live music by local artist Lance Canales, craft beer by Rocky Hill Brewing, delicious BBQ, and free kids’ activities and horse rides provided by Safety Skills Network will be taking place,” stated organizers.

The garden party will be taking place in Foodlink’s DEEP Roots Garden. The garden began with a partnershi­p with Foodlink and In Good Company, Clif Bar and other values driven organizati­ons with a long tradition of community service, collaborat­ion and a powerful force for positive change in the community. Today the garden hosts educationa­l opportunit­ies for community residents and organizati­ons.

This is the first event that will be held in the garden and will help raise funds for Foodlink’s DEEP Roots work. DEEP Roots is short for Discoverin­g our Edible and Equitable Potential and conveys an educationa­l commitment to develop a healthier, more equitable, and participat­ory food system through garden education, leadership developmen­t, food rescue and gleaning, and social enterprise developmen­t. This year marks Foodlink for Tulare County’s 40th year as Tulare County’s only independen­t food bank and is committed to promoting equitable and dignified access to nutritious, healthy food while also addressing the root causes of hunger through education, advocacy, and food systems change.

“The Root Stomp Garden Party is an opportunit­y for you and your loved ones to learn and experience garden education,” organizers stated.

Presale tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children under 12, and family four-packs are available for $50; adult tickets will be $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased online at www.foodlinktc.org or in person at 611 2nd St., Exeter.
