100 Mile Diet Event For 2011
St. Andrew's United Church, Grafton hosted
our 5th 100-Mile Diet Event on September 9 from 12 to 4 p.m. at
Grafton Arena.

Our Mission Statement for this event is:
“To encourage & showcase local products produced
on the land
& to live with respect in creation”.
Why should we support local producers? Why should we shop locally? Where does your food come from? How is it prepared? What is in your food? This is your opportunity to have these questions answered. Shop & meet your local farmers (listed below). Sample their foods. Ask questions about their products.
CHEF DEMONSTRATIONS on the
preparation of simple dishes using the food available that day
gives you a chance to learn new recipes and techniques.
Chef Steve Benns, Culinary Coordinator, Chef/Professor at
Fleming College is our chef demonstrator for his fourth year.
There
will be a children's area with a variety of food related
activities. 
DONATIONS will be accepted at the door to support Northumberland Food For Thought School Nutrition Programmes. Apples were purchased with the $727.50 in donations last year. Thank you to all who contributed to this worthwhile programme.
