San Miguel PEN Presents... The Fifth Talk in the 2025 Winter Series!
Join us on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM for an enlightening and entertaining evening with San Miguel’s own Jim McKeever and Alfredo García-Lucio, of Camino Silvestre and Néctar restaurant fame. These two dedicated entrepreneurs will share their secrets of gardening, plant-based cooking, and healthy living.
After starting PARASOL in 1997 in Denver, Jim McKeever and Alfredo García-Lucio relocated to San Miguel de Allende in 2008, where they founded Camino Silvestre stores and the renowned garden-to-table Néctar restaurant. Jim and Alfredo have a passion for sustainable gardening and nutritious plant-based cooking, and they will share their journey of running Néctar, from their gardening techniques to their commitment to promoting healthy living. They’ll discuss how they use food as a means to nourish not just the body, but the mind and soul, and how their journey continues to shape their lives and community.
Tickets also available at:
Aurora Books, Calzada de la Aurora 48A, Tue-Sat 10AM-6PM.
At Camino Silvestre, Correo 43, Mon & Wed-Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 10am-4pm.
