The Grow Dat Hootenanny is our annual fundraising event. Taking place on our seven-acre farm, the evening is a celebration of local food, music, and youth leadership. More than 500 guests enjoy small plates from 25 local restaurants and dance to live zydeco and brass bands. This year's performances include Louisiana’s own Terry and the Zydeco Bad Boys and Grammy award nominated Hot 8 Brass Band. Grow Dat youth lead farm-themed games and tell stories onstage, and entrepreneurial alumni sell their wares in our eco-campus. It is an experience highlighting New Orleans’ best-- the youth, the music, and the food.
