Michael Ableman, nationally known farmer and author, will take you on a journey discovering the richness and beauty of our food and how to honor our traditional relationship with food, the land and each other.

Ableman will share the evening with award-winning Chef Bobby Moore from Barking Frog Restaurant with culinary school students assisting. Local wineries from the Valley will provide wine tasting along with seasonal appetizers prepared by Chef Moore. In the face of a fast-food nation, a growing community of farmers and food artisans are producing sustainable nourishment that is respectful of the land and rich in heritage, flavor and commitment. Abelman will share their stories and those of innovative, passionate farmers who are making a difference in what we eat and how we experience food.

"Food shouldn't be just another fuel, grown out of sight by anonymous people, prepared and consumed as quickly as possible as if it were an inconvenience," Ableman writes in Fields of Plenty. He explores ways to rethink how we, as a society, participate in the food system...in America, a system where two percent of the people grow food for everyone. He believes that we should know not only where our food comes from, but who provides our food. He wants us to have a personal relationship with our "family farmer" just like we do with our doctors and teachers.

A $100.00 minimum donation is suggested to attend the event. Funds raised are tax deductible and will support programs and the Agricultural Center building fund at 21 Acres, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Please RSVP to Beth Award, at 206-442-2061, or beth@21acres.org.
