Check out information on this 2nd Annual New Food Economy week in Chattanooga on Facebook. The week is being coordinated this year by the manager of the Main Street Farmer’s Market.
The week is from June 23-30th, 2010, beginning with a Summer Solstice Kickoff at the Main Street Farmer’s Market on Wednesday, June 23rd from 4-6PM. The week includes a potluck dinner at Crabtree Farms, a celebration of local restaurants that serve local foods, and ends on Wednesday, June 3oth with a Blueberry Celebration at the Main St. Farmer’s Market, from 4-6PM.
It is exciting that everyone is working together to celebrate local and fresh seasonal foods. I am going to go to one of the local restaurants on Saturday myself to try one of the local menus, probably 212 Market. I will also stop by to get blueberries, but that is the normal pickup day for my CSA box anyway.
Which events appeal the most to you? Please comment.
