Tag: WESTSIDE FARMERS’ MARKET
A Harvest Dinner to Fund Local Community Outreach Programs
Now in its 10th year, the Westside Farmers’ Market brings incredible, locally-sourced food to Ann Arbor’s Westside every Thursday afternoon during the summer. Zingerman’s Roadhouse is proudly supporting the market with a celebratory fall harvest dinner featuring Westside Farmers’ Market vendors to raise funds for three new Market outreach programs in 2016:
- School to Market program in collaboration with Agrarian Adventure
- Senior Community transportation to the Market
- Educational Market group tours
The vision for these three programs is to increase market access and awareness throughout the Westside community while improving the Westside Farmers’ Market long-term sustainability. Your support will help make this vision become a reality.
James Beard award-winning Chef Alex Young has created a menu featuring the beautifully grown produce and sustainably raised meats from Westside’s vendors. The meal will also feature Laurentide wine pairings, one of our favorite vendors from Leelanau, Michigan. We invite you to enjoy the peak flavors of the season at this fundraising dinner, and we look forward to seeing you each week at the market!
