LOCAL FOOD TO BE CELEBRATED AT HARVEST FESTIVAL
Event Features Inspiring Author, Local Food at Restaurants, and More
Building on their huge success last year, a broad-based coalition dedicated to building a strong local food system has once again organized a Harvest Festival. On September 29th and 30th, events will include a public address by Anna Lappé, Songs for your Supper by Bill Rossiter, live music, local food and beverages, and a cooking demonstration using local foods by award winning chef Tom Siegel along with his granddaughter.
"Harvest Fest gives us a chance to celebrate good local food and community," explained Bonnie Buckingham, the facilitator of the Community Food and Agriculture Coalition which is sponsoring the festival. "Part of CFAC¹s mission is to educate citizens about the value of healthy, fresh food and to promote making our entire community more food secure. Harvest Fest is a fun way to involve people in that process."
"Local food is tastier and more nutritious than food shipped half way round the world," explained local chef Martha Buser, who is also one of the festival organizers. "I like to support farmers from Western Montana whenever I can. And as a chef, I know the best meals begin with fresh ingredients."
Events on Friday night include:
Address by Anna Lappé: "Eat Grub! Putting Politics on Your Plate." Anna is a national bestselling author and will focus on how our diet affects our health and the planet, and how we each can play a role in transforming the world.
Buy Fresh, Buy Local at your favorite restaurant: before Anna¹s address, folks can treat their friends and family to a locally grown meal at one of their favorite restaurants.
