The Farmer and the Chef South wows foodies at Baywood
March of Dimes fundraiser healthy and delicious
September 14, 2013
The second annual March of Dimes' The Farmer and the Chef South attracted hundreds of supporters to Baywood Greens near Long Neck Aug. 29. Thirteen farmers and 15 restaurants participated in the event. Chefs were paired with farmers' produce and meat products to create a tasting sample. Each chef prepared a dish with a hand-picked Dogfish Head Craft Brewed ale.
Farmers were on hand to answer questions about their products and partnerships with area chefs. The message was to support local community partners and create healthy environments for healthy babies, the mission of the March of Dimes.
There was also a silent auction and wall of wine raffle.
