DECATUR FARM TO SCHOOL DINE OUT COMING SOON!
The second annual Farm to School Dine Out is set for Monday, January 31st, 2011! Participating restaurants are Farm Burger, Iberian Pig, Watershed, Cakes & Ale, Brick Store Pub, Leon’s Full Service, Universal Joint, Steinbeck’s Ale House and Farmstead 303. This is a great night to take your family out together to support our schools and to enjoy Decatur’s restaurants!
The Farm to School Dine Out hopes to create more awareness of ongoing efforts, raise money and encourage parents and students to participate in the school lunch program. Each restaurant will have a unique “Farm to School” menu or menu options and will donate 10% of sales to Decatur Farm to School.
The 2010 Farm to School Dine Out was a huge success and raised over $3,000 to help put healthy foods in the City Schools of Decatur. The funds were used to purchase kitchen equipment for the employees to make some food items from scratch and helped to fund teacher training and school gardens.
Decatur Farm to School is a branch of the Oakhurst Community Garden Project.
