Join us Sat, Nov. 9 (12-5pm) for the Land & Table Fall fundraiser: Harvest of Plenty! at Mountain Run Farm in Sedalia (northern Bedford County). This family friendly event will include:
POTLUCK!
Bring a healthy side dish and/or a healthy dessert to share. However roasted pork meat and other local meat samples will also be offered by local farms.
HOG ROAST & MEAT SAMPLES
Our friends at Restoration Acres Farm (who share land with Mountain Run Farm) are donating a hog that was pasture-raised on the farm! Mountain Run Farm and Restoration Acres will also be providing other samples of their pastured meats to compliment the potluck.
LIVE MUSIC & OPEN MIC
Enjoy live music by Brent Wills of the Brent Monster Band and Bramble Hollow Farm. We also will open the mic to the community: come play a song or two, read an excerpt from your favorite book, read a poem, perform spoken word, or just share a few words about what Land & Table means to you.
If you want to participate in the open mic feel free to let us know when you RSVP – or let us know when you arrive.
