Amidst the lush, green scenery of a late-summer day in Amagansett, the picturesque fields of Amber Waves Farm became the perfect setting for a gathering to start conversations and raise funds for the FEED Foundation and Amber Waves, sponsored by the Brady Hunter Foundation.
While the sun cast a golden hue over the idyllic scene, guests including Joey Wölffer and Stella McCartney were treated to a farm-to-table meal prepared by chef Hillary Sterling of Ci Siamo, the widely-lauded Mediterranean live-fire cooking restaurant.
“We are honored to collaborate with the FEED Foundation, chef Hilary Sterling, and the Brady Hunter Foundation to bring folks to the table in support of our shared missions of ensuring everyone has access to healthy nutritious food,” Katie Baldwin and Amanda Merrow, founders of Amber Waves Farm said.
Founded by Lauren Bush Lauren, the FEED foundation is an extension of her lifestyle brand which focuses on combating childhood hunger and building a stronger global food system. Her collaboration with the community-based farm, which is committed to educating and inspiring future generations about sustainable farming, underscored the event’s dedication to both nurturing the land and fostering a sense of responsibility toward those who depend on it.
“Gathering good people around the table to enjoy good, nourishing food in such an idyllic setting is core to the FEED mission, so we are thrilled to do this in partnership with Amber Waves Farm,” Bush Lauren added.
This event marked the second annual assembly of its kind, continuing a growing legacy of commitment to impactful change through food, the central rallying point for the hosts and attendees.
Throughout the event, guests mingled, exchanged ideas, and were reminded of the power of collective action. The intimate, farm-sourced meal served as a poignant reminder of the importance of supporting local agriculture, as well as ensuring that future generations have access to healthy nutritious food.
