8/23/13 - An outdoor dinner next month is designed to taste, promote and educate on local farming and agriculture in Livingston County. Brightonâs Farm to Table Experience aims to reconnect the community with its agricultural roots as Livingston County is a hotbed of agricultural activity and home to a large number of farms that produce fruits, vegetables, livestock and cottage industry products. A portion of funds raised will go toward enhancing the Brighton Farmersâ Market and to support the implementation of bridge card technology and materials at the market. A portion will also go to The Livingston County Hunger Council, which is committed to finding sustainable solutions to end hunger in Livingston County. The menu for the outdoor dinner will be created and served by The Wooden Spoon Executive Chef Steve Pilon, using locally sourced produce and meats. Students from Flex Tech High Schoolâs culinary program will assist with preparation of the meal. The event will also feature Michiganâs award winning craft beers and local wines. If weather permits, the dinner will be served under the light of the full harvest moon on Saturday, September 21st on the grounds of the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. Tickets are available through the chamber as well as a number of other locations around town. Complete details can be found in the attachment. (JM)
