This coming Thursday, March 30th, a Community Food Dinner, called “Eat Local Now! A Ballard Food Fest”, will be held in Seattle, WA, sponsored by Sustainable Ballard and BALLE Seattle. Enjoy a night of artful cuisine and discuss the benefits of eating local food and produce. Meet local family farmers and CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), talk with local chefs about fresh ingredients and hear about local programs helping the community find and enjoy the local bounty. And the delicious part of course is that you’ll eat fabulous food prepared by top Seattle chefs using the best of local farm harvests. The dinner will be held at The Ballard Oddfellows Hall (1706 NW Market Street, Seattle) from 6pm until 9pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance on Sustainable Ballard’s website for $20.00, which includes dinner and beverages. In addition, there will be a raffle for CSA Boxes, Organic Fertilizers and other great Sustainable Products. ::Sustainable Ballard
