Farmers Ball - Saturday, September 22nd, 6pm 

The Full Plate Farm Collective will host their annual Farmers Ball.  Thousands of One and Five 2 will perform. The event is a potluck so there will be lots of delicous local foods to sample made by Full Plate members.  Bring your favorite local foods dish.  There will also be a raffle, a great dance party, and probably a few ball gowns!  There is a $5 suggested donation to benefit the Healthy Food For All income eligible CSA share fund.  This year 36 income eligible families received CSA shares at a price they could afford.  We appreciate your help! It does make a difference.
