Farm to Fork

September 11, 2011: Farm to Fork!! A Winner!!

The rain held off, and our first local celebration of family, food and farms was a big hit! A sell-out crowd of 350 feasted on a broad array of the most delectable dishes, served up by 12 stellar chefs with bounty from 12 farmers and seafood producers.
The local beer and wine flowed, the bands rocked, the kids had a ball, and we even made enough money to cover the 2012 food guide.
We will definitely do it all over again in September 2012. Profound thanks to all our hard-working volunteers and contributors for a super day.
