Page County Grown - The Farm Dinner

Page County Grown had its season kick-off dinner Saturday night at the Performing Arts Center in Luray.  With good weather to start the event - although a summer squall blew through later in the festivities - there was a great turnout to enjoy local fare prepared by Chef Chris Harris of The Mimslyn, and music by DJ Kib.

The menu featured a roast, with the beef coming from Skyline Premium Meats, grilled vegetables and a cabbage-green bean slaw from Public House Produce, potatoes from Survivor Farm, and two kinds of berry ice cream with berries also from Survivor Farm. Wine from PCG member Wisteria was available for purchase.

Page County Grown is a grass roots initiative designed to celebrate locally grown products.  Their vision:

Page County Grown is thriving family farms driving local food economies and promoting healthy communities where quality farming is a valued heritage and a staple for growth.

That's definitely something worth celebrating - take a look at the website if you would like more info:

The next public big event is the 2013 Farm Tour - scheduled for August 10, and tickets are $10 apiece.  The farm-to-table dinner at the Mimslyn will follow that evening starting at 6pm.

Mary and I will be there - we're looking forward to it!
