Soul Food Farm, an independent producer of pasture-raised chickens and eggs, suffered a devastating fire on Sept. 3rd and lost 30 acres of pasture land, a barn that dates from the 1880's and other structures, plus 1000 chicks. Cafe Rouge, whose butcher shop has long carried Soul Food Farm eggs, is hosting a benefit prix-fixe family-style dinner ($50 including wine) Monday Oct. 5th from 6pm-9:30pm to raise funds for Soul Food Farm. Cafe Rouge is located at 1782 4th St., Berkeley, tel. 510-525-1440.

All proceeds from the Soul Food Farm Benefit Dinner at Cafe Rouge will be dedicated to helping Soul Food Farm rebuild.
