Backyard Harvest

plans fund dinners

Backyard Harvest will host three gourmet farm-to-table harvest dinner fundraisers this year to build essential support for programs and services that increase access to fresh food on the Palouse and in the Lewis-Clark Valley.

The Whitman County dinner will be Sept. 24 at Merry Cellars in Pullman with catering by Banyons on the Ridge.

The annual dinners help low-income families and individuals gain access to fresh food. Initial sponsors for BYH's upcoming Harvest Dinners include the Moscow Food Co-op, the Pullman branch of Banner Bank, Potlatch Federal Credit Union, Café Artista, and PNW Co-op Specialty Foods.

The local, seasonal dinners will include a five-course meal prepared by local chefs using meat and produce from area farmers and wine specifically paired for each course. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased online or at Café Artista at 3rd and Main in Moscow.

The next Garfield seniors meal will be Thursday, Sept. 21, at the Garfield Legion/Grange Hall at noon. The meal will be spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread, green salad, two other mixed salads, coffee and punch. Brownies will be served for dessert.
