Save the Date & Buy Your Tickets: Eat Local Week Starts December 4th


By Austin Farm to Table (Visit website)



It's no secret that I love to celebrate local food and soon we can all rejoice together.  Eat Local Week, Edible Austin's annual series of events honoring our local food culture, begins on Saturday December 4th and continues through Saturday December 11th.



During the week, you can participate in a variety of fun events including an Urban Farm Bicycle tour, a pig roast at Springdale Farm, a holiday gift fair and separate beverage tastings for coffee, cocktails and beer.   You can participate in a special screening of Chocolat with a multi-course feast at the Alamo Drafthouse on Monday, December 6th and Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, is speaking at Bass Concert Hall on Friday night, December 10th.



If events aren't your cup of tea, you can also participate in Eat Local Week by dining out or shopping at local markets.  A growing list of restaurants and markets will be offering special local dishes and menus during the week.



Proceeds from the week's events and meals benefit Urban Roots, a terrific local program that teaches leadership to area youth through the operation of a local farm and farm stand at area farmers markets.



I'm particularly excited this year about the VIP pass.  For the bargain price of $100, you get priority entry to the following events for the week:



Dec 3:    BookPeople Preview event

Dec 4:    Urban Farm Bicycle Tour

Dec 4:    Pig Roast and Harvest Dinner

Dec 5:    Drink Local Coffee Festival

Dec 8:    Better Bites Holiday Gift Fair at City Hall

Dec 9:    Fine Food and Art Night

Dec 11:  Media Celebrity Cook Off

The pass is a fantastic deal AND it benefits Urban Roots.  What are you waiting for?  Go buy your pass (or individual tickets) today.


See you at Eat Local Week!
