Farm to Table Event to Highlight Local Foods

Join your friends and neighbors for a unique evening of dining at the Farm-to-Table dinner that will be held in Oskaloosa on Thursday, October 6th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds. The Farm-to-Table Dinner will feature locally grown food, all sourced in or around Mahaska County. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, 4-H and Mahaska County Farm Bureau are partnering to host this event.

Farm to Table provides an opportunity for people to enjoy a high quality, deliciously prepared meal featuring fresh, local produce and meats. Guests will meet some of the growers and producers, and hear about their passion for ensuring we have access to nutritious food here at home.

While sitting at long tables in the historic pavilion, guests will enjoy a menu of cheese and beef charcuterie appetizer, mixed green side salad, ribeye steak, marinated grilled chicken, roasted red potatoes, garlic green beans, watermelon, fresh baked rolls, and pumpkin pie or apple crisp for dessert.

Live music will be performed by S. Sean Six, Classical Guitarist.

Because of a generous donation by Mahaska County Farm Bureau, tickets are available for $28 per person. To register for Farm to Table by September 29th, purchase tickets at: Mahaska County Extension and Outreach or Mahaska County Farm Bureau FaceBook or websites.

This event is also being sponsored by Bank Iowa, Mahaska Drug, MidWest One Bank and the Southern Iowa Fair.

Proceeds from the evening’s event will support community service conducted by Mahaska County 4-H Honor Council.
