Hosted by Greensgrow & Philly Foodworks A benefit for our SNAP Share Program, making a healthy local farm share accessible to everyone.
Greensgrow will host four Farm Dinners throughout 2019 in partnership with Philly Foodworks to benefit our SNAP Share program because we believe that nutritious, local food should be accessible to everyone. Join us for an evening to celebrate the local food system during the delightfully delicious shoulder season - this time at Greensgrow West! On September 28th Chef Katie Briggs, owner of Eclectik Domestic and 2016 James Beard Women in Culinary Leadership recipient, will present a farm-to-table menu sourced from our network of local farmers and from Greensgrow Farms. Beverages provided by Hale & True Cider Co. The evening will feature a four course meal and live music.
Support accessible local food and meet people in your community that believe that nurtured landscapes and good food connects us all.
