Last week, as you probably heard, Soul Food Farm suffered a crippling fire. It's one of the Bay's best-known and well-regarded farms, with customers including Chez Panisse, Coi and countless others. As broadly mentioned last week, several Bay Area restaurants helping out the beleaguered farm. This past Saturday, Mission Street Food donated proceeds to the recovery, but there are a few more benefit dinners of note on the horizon. So, excuse us if we get a little servicey for a moment, but here are the specifics for the Soul Food Farm benefits as of today (others are expected to surface soon too):
