Restaurants / Events / Food & Life Farm to Table food fest
Posted by Adina Fleming on Fri, Sep 14, 2007 at 5:43 PM
Georgia has a lot to enjoy in terms of local foods, and an upcoming weekend organized by Food & Wine magazine's Grow for Good campaign features a variety of restaurant/food events, all in glorification of Georgia farms. The Grow for Good campaign aims to raise $1 million for Farm to Table, a national initiative dedicated to supporting local farms and sustainable agriculture. Farm to Table will also maintain an interactive website for Georgia to help farmers build ties to consumers, chefs, restaurateurs, and institutional buyers such as schools, hospitals and hotels. It will also provide educational resources for farmers to help support a transition to sustainable farming practices.
The events begin Friday, Sept. 28, with Eat Local at Atlanta, Athens and Palmetto's "Best Chef's Tables." From about 6-9 p.m. in a whole slew of excellent restaurants, attendees are treated to a tasting menu featuring Georgia-grown ingredients. Tickets are $150 per person including tax and tip, and reservations may be made by contacting the restaurant directly. A handful of the participating restaurants includes Element, the Farmhouse, Rathbun Steak, all the Star Provisions joints and many more. For the full list as well as contact info for restaurants, visit www.foodandwine.com/growforgood.
Stay tuned for information about the Country Fair in the City event Sept. 29 and the Summer Supper at Summerland Farm Sept. 30.
