This Friday, January 26, come join us for an evening of fun, food, and more at the Eagles Ballroom in Olympia in support of the Southwest Washington Food Hub. The evening will feature a variety of local foods prepared by local chefs. Look for sausage from our friends at Delmonico's made from Colvin Ranch grass-finished beef. 

I'll also be participating in a fireside chat about local food systems and climate change with other farmers and chefs. Plus, with music from the Oly Mountain Boys, it's sure to be a fun event. 

The Southwest Washington Food Hub is a farmer-owned cooperative food aggregation and distribution service operating in Pierce, Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor, Mason, and Pacific Counties. They make it easy to get seasonal, local produce from local farms with their popular multi-farm box. And they make it easy for producers like us to provide locally-produced food to the community, including school districts in Aberdeen, Olympia, and other local areas. 

Get your tickets online, and be sure to find me at the event and say hello.

Eat Local Month With The Thurston County Food Bank

September is Eat Local Month in Washington, and while we often think about eating local when it comes to shopping at farmers' markets or dining at locally-owned restaurants, we want to recognize those working to make fresh, local food accessible to everyone in our community.

Slow Food Greater Olympia

At the recent annual meeting for Slow Food Greater Olympia, it was inspiring to spend time with the advocates, chefs, farmers, brewers, bakers, and backyard gardeners who are all contributing to a culture of delicious local food.
