George Nemeth · The Grovewood & Fresh Fork team up for a local wine dinner
August 4th, 2008
This sound like a good time:
It’s getting harder and harder to turn around these days without hearing about local produce, reducing one’s carbon footprint, etc. Grovewood is proud to have partnered with Fresh Fork Market, a local start-up company that teams farmers with local restaurants.
Most produce grown in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles before it gets sold. We have grown accustomed to the convenience of year-round strawberries, tomatoes, and melons. We settle for food that is picked unriped and shipped halfway around the globe so that we can “enjoy” a caprese salad in February.
Transporting food from around the country and the planet has environmental costs and public health costs. The way we eat has an enormous impact on the health of the planet. By focusing on local produce, we can curb global warming and air pollution, avoid toxic pesticides, support local farmers and enjoy fresh, tasty food.
Food tourists, grab your passports and join us on a visit to our own backyard. Bob Gavlak of Fresh Fork Market and Tricia Phelan of Vintage Wine Distributor will make brief presentations. We are featuring local produce paired with local wines, in a specially designed menu from Grovewood’s award-winning kitchen. A complimentary recipe book of the dishes served (but adapted for the home kitchen) will be presented.

I was looking at their menu on Sunday night and remembered the excellent meal on the patio that we shared. This should be a very nice evening. I will try to attend, sounds delicious.

FreshForkMarket has just been recognized by the Civic Innovation Lab as one of the hot ideas of 2008! They were just awarded a $30,000 grant to keep up the great work of creating a local “farm to fork” solution for sustainable farming. These guys are some of the brightest and motivated entrepreneurs we’ve met!
