Bitterroot Valley - - Community Food Project (CFP) Coalition

Bitterroot Valley Food System

 

B'root Food - Oct 3, 6:30 pm - Hamilton City Hall  

SLS Fundraiser Dinner & Educational Event - with Speaker Bruce Smith and catered dinner by Riversong Catering.  

       Bruce Smith is leading the charge for building a local food system in a Montana community.   Bruce is the Extension agent way out east in Glendive, Mt.     Here's a list of what he is starting there (some of which we could do here): a producers' marketing co-op with online ordering,

         local food restaurant and microbrewery,

         local food store,

         culinary/cooking school,

         shared-use commercial kitchen,

         community gardens, high tunnels (also known as hoop houses).

Also, there will be a silent auction of Food items. Tickets will be sold at the Bitterroot Star in Stevensville and at Chapter 1 Bookstore in Hamilton.     Tickets must be purchased by Sept. 20 (so we know how many meals to prepare).   Call Jill for more information: 642-3601.
