Vendors from the Catawba Valley Farmers Market have planned the Second Farm-to-Table Dinner. The dinner will be held at the Catawba Community Center Picnic Shelter on Saturday, August 7, starting at 6:00 p.m.
The Center is located at 4965 Catawba Creek Road (Rt. 779), .1 mile from Rt. 311, in Catawba.
Farm-to-table is a phrase that means different things to different people. In this case, it means that the food on the table came directly from local, specific farms without going through a store or distributor along the way. The foods on the CVFM table will be grown, prepared and served by the Farmers Market vendors and managers. The menu includes pulled pork, herb-seasoned potatoes, roasted zucchini and squash, cole slaw, rolls, fresh apple cake, iced tea and water. A vegetarian medley will be available by request.
This is a sit-down dinner, with attendees served by Market vendors and family members, while light music plays in the background. Foods have been produced by the local vendors and then prepared by the vendors.
Tickets for the dinner are $25.00 for adults and children over the age of 11. For children between the ages of three and 11, ticket prices will be $18.00.
Tickets are available at CVFM each Thursday, or by contacting Pam Garman at (540)312-7037 or by email at fgarman@gmail.com. The deadline to purchase tickets is July 29.
This event promises to be a fun-filled and educational time for the diners, with locally-sourced foods, served in a true country atmosphere, with an opportunity to meet and talk with those who have actually produced the foods.
