Grateful Grahams' founder coordinates A Grateful Plate to honor NKY's female farmers, producers

Nearly four years ago, Rachel DesRochers launched her culinary dream job, Grateful Grahams, in which she prepares and sells handmade, vegan graham cracker treats while promoting gratefulness among her customers.
 
Now she’s coordinating A Grateful Plate so the community can express its gratitude for Northern Kentucky’s base of female farmers, producers and chefs.
 
“My goal with both my personal life and my business is to spread gratitude, and this event is a wonderful opportunity to do just that,” DesRochers says.
 
A portion of proceeds from the farm-to-table, dinner-by-the-bite event — which takes place Sunday, Sept. 27 at New Riff Distillery — will benefit the Community Farm Alliance, a Kentucky-based nonprofit that promotes farmers and the idea of bringing a public voice to policy makers.
 
All food served at Sunday’s event uses ingredients exclusively sourced from Northern Kentucky’s female farmers. One of the sample offerings features a biscuit bar with goat gravy and gooseberry jam from The Delish Dish, with pork shoulder and hominy by Nectar.
 
“The women farmers, chefs and producers joining us for the evening are all amazing at what they do,” DesRochers says. “And as a community, Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati are so lucky to have these women and their talents.”
