Eat Local Dinner
The Abundance Foundation is holding a fund raiser at the plant. They intend to serve local food to the first seventy five folks who sign up.
Apparently the ex-chef from The Lantern is stepping in. And Todd from ECO Organics is stepping in. He was a chef in his past life. And I believe my children have been deputized as wait staff. They are well trained from their many years of waiting on me hand and foot.
This dinner is set for Sunday, June 10th, and it is twenty five bucks a head-ten for children. Proceeds go to the Pittsboro Farmer’s Market.
Our local fuel project is necessarily on the edge of the local food scene. Tes did a marvelous job of covering Carlo Petrini’s Triangle visit in her blog. I stayed home with children that night and worked with Zafer on a Ten Year’s After song. He’s moved to the electric guitar, and his walls of sound fill the farmhouse these days.
Apparently the local Tilapia farm has sold out to golf course developers, and they are moving their aquaculture operation to a farm across the road. That’s making for a bunch of orphaned fish, which are headed to Eat Local Night.
The idea behind the project is to raise a bunch of cash for the Farmer’s Market. The Farmer’s Market is not “in trouble,” in fact it is having its best year ever. But it could use some cash for banners or signs or whatever it takes to get the word out.
What better way to support the local market than to come to the biodiesel plant for a simple sit-down dinner for seventy-five? Buy your tickets early…
