A Plains to Plate Potluck Party
Reclaim the Food Chain extends an open invitation to a Plains to Plate Potluck Party on Friday August 23rd from 6pm.
A celebration and showcase of community food projects in Adelaide as part of Fair Food Week 2013.
Where: Upstairs at Earth Kitchen, 131 Pirie St
When: 6.30 for a shared potluck meal followed by a few short talks about local food projects
Music from 9pm
Why: to connect people who are passionate about just and sustainable food systems, learn what we are all up to, and celebrate our successes. It’s been three years since the Plains to Plate conference and this is a chance to reconnect and strengthen the network. Also a fun opportunity to learn what’s happening if you are interested in getting involved or learning more.
Bring a dish that represents your idea of fair food for a shared meal.
Hear about some of the amazing fair food projects happening in our very own backyard and share what you’re up to, or your ideas and dreams.
Then let your hair down and enjoy a delicious local beverage and a dance (local band TBA).
And in case that’s not enough, more food (that’s what it’s all about, right?)! Delicious fair trade coffee and locally made cakes.
Get in the running for secret delicious door prizes!
All welcome!
Tell your friends.
