Twenty days until the RI Local Food Fest

Food Fest card The RI Local Food Fest, if you haven’t already heard, is August 6 at Castle Hill in Newport. The evening celebrates the harvest of the Rhode Island fields and waters, and doubles as a fundraiser for Farm Fresh.

Join us for a taste of 11 chefs’ visions of the season (including a very friendly cook-off in the VIP hour) inspired by the harvest of a dozen local farmers and food artisans, and accompanied by wines, beers and a raw bar. Here’s what else is special about this year’s Local Food Fest:

  • 100% compostable evening. Thanks to Blue State Coffee and Whole Foods, all dinnerware and food waste will go back into healthy RI soils.
  • Back-of-the-house tours led by the roasters of New Harvest Coffee, the bakers of Seven Stars, local farmers and fishermen. And many more opportunities for flavorful outings at the auction.
  • Superchief Trio. These local favorites know how to jazz up a party.
  • Sunset at Castle Hill. The ocean view is not to be missed.
