 Oct. 25 - The Height of the Locavore Movement

We've been talking with the folks behind the "Field to Fork Harvest Dinner" being held at St. Brigid's Farm on October 25th. There's so much we like about this event, and more good developments unfolding all the time. The latest, the RSVP date is moving to Oct. 10, due to a sign-up glitch.

This weekend, we talked with the St. Brigid's folks. They've been tasting Maryland wines and working with local wineries to pair reds and whites with the menu, which highlights their pastured, humanely raised veal, butternut squash soup, local aged cheeses. Nearly everything on the menu is local, and a great opportunity to explore/support local producers. There's also a new local brew on the menu, St. Michaels ale from the Eastern Shore Brewing Company (if they get their bottles in time!).

One of the partners for the event is the Chester River Association. And profits will go to Heifer International, which won Humanitarian category of the 2008 Bon Appétit awards. Heifer International provides revenue-producing livestock — cows, goats, rabbits — and training to families in need around the world, stressing gender equality and environmental stewardship.

We asked about inclement weather. In that case, Bob Fry says they'll move the party indoors...into their fresh, new (unoccupied) wooden barn.

A beautiful night and a great opportunity to enjoy the fruits of supporting everything the locavore movement stands for. If you'd like to learn more and/or book, click here or email rcfry@stbrigidsfarm.com
