Harvest Dinner 2012

The weather was perfect for alfresco dining at Lovitt Restaurant where the annual Stevens County Harvest Dinner was held. Sponsored by the Community Agriculture Development Center, the dinner is a celebration of our amazing local food diversity. Virtually 100% of the meal was prepared from food sourced locally, and included some of your favorite Chewelah Valley fresh Market farmers, including Front Porch Farm, Simple Gifts Farm and Heather's Fairy Tale Bakery. We visited with some wonderful people and were fully aware of how fortunate we are to live in such a place.  

There was a lovely selection of wines.

 Dinner was held alfresco on the lawn of Lovitt Restaurant, which itself is an old farmhouse.

One of our appetizers: Goat Cheese-Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos.

The beautiful salad consisted of Local greens, Roasted Sweet Corn, Sweet Pepper Marshmallows, shaved goat cheese with a Sweet Pickle Vinaigrette.

  
We enjoyed our salad with a fresh roll from Heather's Fairy Tale Bakery.

My entree: Apple & Cherry Wood-smoked Beef Brisket, Potato Puree, Currant Sauce and Kohlrabi & Carrot Hash. Delicious.
