In addition to visiting with organic farmers in the area like our friend Rob Wood and Mike Brownback of Spiral Path Farm we were treated to a fabulous fresh local food dinner.
This annual event was held in the social hall of the Dickinson College student union. The tables were set so pretty we didn't feel like we were on a college campus at all. The extensive menu featured organic, local, fresh ingredients from the vibrant agricultural community of Pennsylvania.
The soups and salads included Kale and Apple Salad, Fresh Mixed Greens Salad, a thick delicious Vegetarian Chili and a yummy Vegetarian French Onion Soup.
Above is the "Beet Bourguigon" one of the entrees along with Apple Stuffed Pork Loin. Side dishes included Rustic Mash Potatoes, Stuffed Mushrooms, Roasted Root Vegetables and for dessert Sweet Potato Pie.Following the meal we enjoyed a program presented by Forrest Pritchard, a Berryville, VA farmer and author of Gaining Ground his story of farmer's markets, local food and saving the family farm.

I just love the concept of farm to table meals. How wonderful for you to experience this special meal.
This sounds like a fabulous dinner and program. The CSA groups around here have waiting lists ... lots of people wanting to get in on great, fresh food.
