I almost forgot that this is happening on Monday. You can be sure I won’t be fixing dinner for my family on Monday night…
The second annual Farm to School Dine Out is set for Monday, January 31st,, 2011! This is a great night to bring the whole family out to dinner, or grab your friends for dinner to promote healthy foods in our schools. Participating restaurants are Farm Burger, Iberian Pig, Watershed, Cakes & Ale, Brick Store Pub, Leon’s Full Service, Universal Joint, Steinbeck’s Ale House and Farmstead 303. So come out, support our schools and enjoy Decatur’s restaurants!
The Farm to School Dine Out hopes to create more awareness of ongoing efforts, raise money and encourage parents and students to participate in the school lunch program. Each restaurant will have a unique “Farm to School” menu or menu options and will donate 10% of sales to Decatur Farm to School.
The 2010 Farm to School Dine Out was a huge success and raised nearly $3,000 to help put healthy foods in the Decatur schools. The funds were used to purchase kitchen equipment and knives for the employees to make some food items from scratch and helped to fund training and school gardens.
Decatur Farm to School is a branch of the Oakhurst Community Garden.
