We’ll once again join the Sustainable Business Network’s for the next ALLocal event which will be a family style picnic with Garden Girl Patti Moreno at her home in Fort Hills, Roxbury on Saturday, August 21, from 2-5pm.

This is an opportunity to meet local people and learn about local food and sustainable business efforts in Roxbury. This event will be a very special summer afternoon at the home and gardens of Patti Moreno of Garden Girl TV. Enjoy a $35 family style picnic in Roxbury with fresh ingredients harvested from Patti’s own gardens. Children under 10 are welcome for $10.

Patti has collaborated with the enterprising start-up pasta company, Nella Pasta to offer fresh pasta made with herbs picked from her garden and local grain sourced from Massachusetts grain farmer, Four Star Farms. Nella Pasta owners Rachel Marshall and Leigh Foster met Liz Potter of Four Star Farms at SBN’s Buy Local Trade show in July. Don Otto’s of the South End will be providing homemade local sausages for the grill. Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance will source fresh and sustainably caught local Bluefish to accompany the grill. City Growers will also supply local produce harvested in Dorchester and Mattapan to complement the fresh pick from Patti’s garden. From these connections, all entrepreneurs are able to prove that they can work together to build a sustainable local economy.

The ALLocal Dinner with Boston’s own Garden Girl is expected to sell out as with all other ALLocal Dinners. For more information, go to http://bostonlocalfoodfestival.com/festivities/dinner-with-garden-girl/ where you can register.
