Eat Local Now!

Sustainable Ballard and BALLE Seattle present: the 5th Annual Eat Local Now! Dinner at Ballard High School on April 29th, 2008 with Ballard High Schools Youth Earth Service Corps.

Always a sell-out, Eat Local Now! promotes year-round support of local food, and it gives neighbors the opportunity to share in community with those who feed them. This year, Eat Local Now! will raise awareness about farmland flooding issues in Washington. Mike Peroni, from Boistfort Valley Farm in Curtis, WA, and Erick Haakenson, from Jubilee Farm in Carnation, WA, two farms affected by major floods in recent years, will frame the discussion of how flooding affects our local food system, the challenges local farmers face, and how city folks can work with farmers to help secure our local food system.

A silent auction will be held, raising funds for the host organizations, as well as for a Farm Emergency Relief Fund. The silent auction features a great variety of items, so remember to bring some cash or your checkbook!

Come and enjoy a delicious dinner crafted from local ingredients by some of Seattles top chefs. It is all made possible by our local food producers for your enjoyment!

Sorry, we are sold out!
