We're excited to be participating in Local Foods Week again this season! We'll be celebrating the week of July 22nd through July 28th. Local Foods Week is a week of local food highlights at local restaurants in the region. The goal of local foods week is to raise awareness of what's possible with local foods at our local restaurants and to establish new relationships between farms and chefs. We're delighted to be partnering with Beans Coffee House in North Mankato and the Refinery 507 in downtown Waseca this year!
It's been fun to work with chefs and Lisa the Barista to establish menu items that highlight our produce. As an avid home cook I sort of got to live out my inner chef nerd this year as I helped Lisa think about what produce would be available and what dish would most highlight the produce.
There are a multitude of farms and restaurants participating this year. We hope you'll take some time to support local foods week at any of the participating, local restaurants. See the full lineup of farms and restaurants below and make a plan to stop by several during Local Foods Week.
