🐌 If you aren't on our listserv, you may have missed our menu preview that we shared on Tuesday... Tickets are still available via the link in our bio!

***

This year’s annual fundraiser dinner is quickly approaching, and we cannot wait for you to join us in celebrating good, clean, and fair food for all!

In addition to joining in on a silent auction that includes gift certificates and gift baskets from local businesses, handmade pottery, and even custom macarons, we hope you would agree that this year’s menu is one not to be missed. Without giving too much away, diners can look forward to:

*A bread-forward appetizer, by Amy Lozier, formerly of Omega Artisan Bakery

Savory appetizers presented in a dessert format, by Laura Lee Di Cintio, formerly of ajumamacbus Korean Food truck

A prawn starter, by Charley Sigler, Executive Chef of Littleton’s Market

A main dish featuring cod, by PoCambo of PoCambo Hotsauce

A second entrée featuring crispy pork belly, by Dan Varga of The The Hungarian Butcher

And a seasonal fruit-forward dessert by Tommy Tucker, Pastry Chef and coordinator of The mix

We’ll also have bread service by Dan The Baker, paired with freshly churned butter using Snowville Creamery’s heavy cream, as well as w**e pairings to highlight the evening’s culinary creations. (Of course, our menu remains dynamic and dependent on ingredient availability!)

If you haven’t yet purchased your ticket(s) for this year’s annual fundraiser dinner, we encourage you to do so sooner rather than later — as of this message, only about a dozen seats are available. Proceeds from this dinner will be used to support our low- to no-cost events throughout the rest of the year, as well as future organization partnerships and collaborations.
