Dish the Dirt offers a different way to connect people to the systemic problems of the food system and soil degradation. It is about showing food and soil side-by-side to create a visceral experience, bringing together producers, consumers, farmers and citizens for conversations around the table.

An innovative experience that connects food and soil

Living Soils are one of the most critical elements of the natural world. Yet, most people do not consider them, most do not understand their importance, and very few consider their food's relationship with soil. It's time to shift that narrative to make impactful changes for our collective future.

Dish the Dirt is an eating experience that connects people to food and the soil it is grown in through multi-sensory dining. Diners eat a 6-course tasting menu and experience different sensory elements that evoke the soil's smell, taste, sound and feel. This experience is designed to empower people with the knowledge of why our living soils are essential, how farming affects them and how the food we eat can have an enormous impact on them.
