Join us for the 5th Annual ASLF Benefit, for an unforgettable evening of food, drink, and community featuring more than 130 of New York City’s leading chefs, artisans, and mixologists!
This one-night-only culinary event honors the legacy of Anne Saxelby—the pioneering cheesemonger who championed American artisan cheese and sustainable agriculture. Proceeds support ASLF’s monthlong paid apprenticeships, which place young adults on sustainable farms to work, learn, and be inspired to create change in their communities. Founded in 2021 after Anne Saxelby’s sudden passing, ASLF was created to carry forward her belief that good food—and the farmers behind it—can change the world.
The Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund is a 501(c)(3)non-profit. Your receipt will state Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund. Your gift over $80 per ticket is tax-deductible.
