Why attend this amazing dinner? The funds raised help Slow Food NNJ programs. The fundraising will provide grants for a minimum of five NJ schools to help develop school vegetable gardens. Along with the grants, our goal is also to provide workshops for teachers on how to integrate the school vegetable garden with NJ curriculum.

Slow Food NNJ is currently working with Maple Avenue School in Newark on the "Growing Minds" Program and recently on a special event called, "Eat, Grow, & Go"

Local Spinach

We just got some super fresh local spinach from
the good folks over at Totten Family Farm in Long Valley, New Jersey. Yesterday, our spinach salad with grilled chicken, tomatoes, and blue cheese dressing was a hit. Tonight it is featured in our wild caught grilled Alaskan salmon Blue Plate. We're very happy to be able to serve you this beautiful and delicious spinach. Keep your eye out for the next item featured from Totten Family Farm here at Fresh.

Local Strawberries

Avi & I picked amazing strawberries today in Hillsborough at Sunhaven farms. Only 17 miles away, they've got super ripe strawberries grown all naturally. We picked early this afternoon, half are working on the stove top now becoming jam - other half becoming strawberry shortcake.

As you may have already heard, this year's strawberry crop has matured quickly due to the weather meaning there are lots of beautiful berries just waiting to be purchased at your local farm, farmer's market or farm stand.
