5th Annual Farm t Table Dinner to Honor the Face and Taste of Local Food
The goal of the Coppell Farmers Market Farm to Table Dinner is to celebrate all who contribute to a local food system, to spotlight farmers and producers, raise awareness of the value of meals based on farm direct markets, and support local food access to all. Ticket sales proceeds will support the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Lone Star Card) at the market, along with additional promotion of the Coppell Farmers Market.
The CFM volunteer committee has planned this dinner every year with Robby and Victoria Hooker, Two Chefs salsa vendor and professional chefs. The Hookers assisted with similar dinners in North Carolina with Slow Food before moving to the area and are excited to bring their expertise to this endeavor and involve culinary students in the local food movement. "It's hard to believe it's been 5 years since we started our dinners and they've become a true community celebration of local food," said Karen Pearsall Gillham, the CFM Committee Chair, "and this year, the chefs and farmers are already planning some extraordinary culinary delights!"
Tickets for the May 31st Farm to Table Dinner go on sale at 8:00am on April 18th at the Coppell Farmers Market, 768 W. Main St. $100, cash or check only, four ticket limit.
