On Tuesday, August 30th, 50 foodie philanthropists met at Mossback Cafe, a small restaurant in Kingston, for a special purpose: to attend the first-annual Kitsap Fresh Farm to Fork Fundraiser Dinner event sponsoring free memberships to the co-op’s online marketplace that connects customers to local farmers and artisan producers in Kitsap County.
Mossback’s Chef-Owners John Delp and Pam Buitenveld designed a special four-course menu for the event, which featured donations of fresh vegetables, fruit, eggs, herbs, pork, chicken, cheese, milk and coffee from local farms and producers including: Around the Table Farm, Clay & Coffee, Editor Melinda, Eggs-Cellence, Figuring on Food, Full Tilth Farm, Heyday Farm Store, Lone Rock Dairy, Pheasant Fields Farm, Rainbowzen Farm and The Smithshyre Farm.
The sun came out just in time for the guests’ arrival and they shared a medley of appetizers and drinks in Mossback’s courtyard garden before sitting down at community tables indoors and outside al fresco. During the course of the evening, attendees bid on decadent desserts and cheese platters donated by Fat Apple Bakery, Laughing Dog Bakery, Julia Zander, and Greenwoodes Farm and Organic Baked Goods. These funds went to further support sponsored customers who will be able to use Quest Cards and SNAP benefits in the coming year to purchase items ranging from milk, cheese, fruit and veggies to proteins like beef, pork, chicken, goat and turkey, as well as baked goods and herbs, all year long on the Kitsap Fresh online marketplace.
This unique harvest feast will be prepared and hosted by Mossback Cafe sourcing ingredients from our local farms here in Kitsap. Come enjoy with us a locally crafted, seasonal meal with beer and wine, live acoustic music, and the good company of your friends and neighbors.
Ticket cost is $75 per person. Each guest will receive a complimentary drink with the purchase of their ticket. Mossback will have a cash bar featuring local spirits.
There will also be a dessert silent auction as part of the evening for those interested in indulging in some of the sweets our local artisans have to offer.
All proceeds from the evening go directly towards raising funds for Kitsap Fresh’s subsidized membership program. We are working to foster community and support access for low-income families to the online market by providing no cost memberships to those that qualify.
When: Tuesday, August 30th 2016 from 6pm – 9pm
Where: Mossback Cafe (26185 Ohio Ave NE
Kingston, WA )
