AT THE CUYAMA BUCKHORN!
Every ticket purchased will enter you automatically into our exciting raffle sponsored by the Cuyama Buckhorn! This boutique hotel is an artfully-restored roadside resort located in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s high desert.
The iconic property, originally built in 1952, has been re-imagined as an elevated retreat nestled in The Hidden Valley of Enchantment. It rests at the intersection of 4 counties, on the other side of The Los Padres National Forest from Santa Barbara proper; and is just two hours or less from Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and Paso Robles.
Cuyama Buckhorn offers an intimate getaway filled with thoughtfully crafted meals, a bar where conversation flows effortlessly, 21 newly refined rooms with stylistic nods to the past, and 2 acres of meticulously designed outdoor space. The Enchanted Valley sits amidst star-filled night skies for some of the best stargazing in California and pastoral golden mountains boasting hiking trails, breathtaking wildflowers, and wilderness. The food, design, and creative spirit of Cuyama Buckhorn is inspired by the rich history of the local community and the bounty of Cuyama Valley.
This resort retreat boasts a full service, farm-to-table restaurant and bar, a craft coffee shop, and a market featuring house-made and local products. Wanderlust seekers can also enjoy a glistening pool to splash into under the warm California sun, a spacious jacuzzi to warm up in on cool desert nights, a barrel sauna with sunset views, outdoor fire pits and games to bring together friends new and old, as well as plenty of event spaces to celebrate the beauty of this unmatched haven.

About Pies for Justice
Gather for Good believes that each and every one of us has the power to make our communities stronger when we work together.
Even if we aren’t all marching in the streets, we’ll continue to stand in solidarity against racial injustice. We pledge to keep learning, keep sharing and keep gathering for good. Since 2020, we raised over $68K with chefs across Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. With all your favorite pastry chefs, bakers, restaurant owners, farmers and foodies — we are here to make a stand, feed you delicious pies and support important orgs fighting for equity and justice in the BIPOC community.
For 4 years we’ve hosted online charity pie sales where the most talented chefs created a beautiful array of offerings spanning across multiple counties to all stand together on this mission. We wouldn’t be able to make Pies for Justice a success year after year without the generous support of our chefs, business owners, farmers and purveyors. And thank you to all our supporters and patrons! Take a look at our wonderful past events below!
THE IMPORTANCE OF JUNETEENTH
Every year pies for justice is hosted in celebration of juneteenth. this is a time for people to come together and recognize the importance of this holiday.
JUNETEENTH MARKS THE DATE OF JUNE 19TH, 1865, WHEN GEN. GORDON GRANGER OF THE UNION ARMY ARRIVED IN GALVESTON TEXAS, TO DEMAND THAT SLAVES BE SET FREE. TEXAS WAS ONE OF THE LAST STATES WHERE SLAVERY ENDURED DESPITE PRESIDENT LINCOLN SIGNING THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION IN 1863. FOLLOWING GRANGER’S ANNOUNCEMENT, THE FORMERLY ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS BROKE INTO CELEBRATION.
TODAY THAT CELEBRATION, SAID TO BE THE OLDEST BLACK AMERICAN HOLIDAY, IS KNOWN AS JUNETEENTH. AFRICAN AMERICANS NOT ONLY CELEBRATED THEIR FREEDOM BUT THEY ALSO EXERCISED THEIR NEW RIGHTS BY BUYING LAND ACROSS TEXAS. LEARN MORE ABOUT JUNETEENTH HERE.
