About This Event

The Main Squeeze is a citrus-themed celebration of food literacy and culinary education. Designed as a coursed, family-style, sit-down dinner with specialty cocktails, $50 of each ticket purchased goes towards our 2027 season of Book n’ Cook and Nourish Cooking Experiences. 

This past year, Urban Seeds has moved more local food throughout our region than ever before, growing into a staff of three full-time employees and settling into our first dedicated office space. Now is the time to support our mission as we plant seeds for next year! 

---------------------------------

What is Book n’ Cook?

Book n’ Cook is our partner program with Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library where students in grades 3-5 receive five free cuisine-focused books and a kitchen utensil kit. Once a month from May through October, our young chefs meet online with Urban Seeds to learn how to make a recipe inspired by their new book collection.

What are Nourish Food Experiences?

The Nourish Food Experiences are an extension of our weekly produce box program. These events bring community members together to expand culinary skills, introduce new flavors and explore the versatility of fresh fruits and vegetables. We’ve tested a variety of cooking classes and hope to expand our future offerings to farm tours, u-pick opportunities and more. 

Important event note: Cocktails are not included in the ticket price and will be an additional charge at the event.
