Saturday, May 30, 2009

Celebrate fresh, local food with 3 events at 3 different Bellingham venues. Shannon Borg and Harley Soltes, author and photographer respectively of Chefs on the Farm: Recipes & Inspiration from the Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic Arts are coming to town. Bring your taste buds and your questions and join event co-sponsors Village Books, Sustainable Connections, The Bellingham Farmer's Market, and Pastazza in welcoming them!

With the rising interest in organic and locally grown food, there is also an increasing interest in connecting the farm to the table. Chefs on the Farm describes the seasonal workings of Quillisascut Goat Cheese Farm, a small, family-run business in northeastern Washington State. There, owners Lora Lea and Rick Misterly started a "Farm School for the Domestic Arts" where every summer, professional chefs, culinary students, food writers, and others live and work on the farm. Cooking only with ingredients they find on the farm, students learn to be connected to the food they work with. Chefs on the Farm is the perfect "treat" for foodies, organic gardeners, cookbook addicts, and sustainable practitioners alike.
