Sunshine brings delight! Foodies unite!
Yes! It's that heady, tingly, exciting time when we remember why we endure those 30-day stretches of gloom and wet. Today was a glorious Northwest gem! I was fortunate enough to volunteer at a fund raiser hosted by Chef's Collaborative at Agua Verde. Many local farms and businesses, including Willie Green's made donations to the event. The proceeds of the event went to a scholarship fund for Quillisascut Farm School. (Quillisascut is near and dear to my family. My husband, Dylan attended last summer, and we will attend a class there as a family in May!) It was a picture perfect setting, a warm, sunny spectacular Northwest evening beside the water with about 90 people who were brought together by a passion for great local, sustainable food. A handful of people put a tremendous amount of time and effort into organizing a fabulous evening. They all did a tremendous job! The food was spectacular and 100% Washington grown! Everyone had lots of fun while supporting a great cause. I'm looking forward to many more such gatherings, especially dinners at Willie Green's.
I was so invigorated by talking with attendees and volunteers. It's so fascinating how everyone has a different angle and twist on sustainable food, but everyone has their eye on the same prize of a healthy food system. I am fortunate enough to eat the best food available anywhere on a regular basis, and I was really truly impressed by the food last night. Chef Darin Leonardson and his crew did a phenominal job! Thanks Meg Chadsey for getting me in the loop!
