Founding Farmers & Our Baby Goat Join Beast of a Feast

Our Founding Farmers in King of Prussia joined the greater Philadelphia community last night to raise money for the Elmwood Park Zoo. The zoo’s single largest fundraiser, the 10th Annual Beast of a Feast, raised over $100,000 for educational programing and community engagement.

The Founding Farmers team joined the 30+ other local restaurants and bars also represented at the event, served some of our tasty food, and connected with community members from all over the Philadelphia area. We also brought along our very own Founding Farmers farm animal, our sculpted baby pink goat made by commissioned artist Darla Jackson.

For some, the event was their first introduction to all that is Founding Farmers, and many were excited to learn that we have made our way to Pennsylvania. Of course, we encouraged everyone who stopped by our table to come in for a meal and check out our First Bake Cafe & Creamery for a quick bite or an ice cream cone.

Sponsored by Crave Montco, Beast of a Feast also included a silent auction, cooking demonstrations, and live animal greets. The money raised each year helps to grow the zoo community through educational initiatives, such as tactile investigations for blind and visually impaired children and dozens of Zoo-on-Wheels enrichment programs tailored to engage school-aged children around the region.
