Tonight's discussion introduces topics related to the production, distribution, and use of locally grown, sustainably produced food in conjunction with the Field and Screen film series.

Central Ohio is home to an extraordinary network of farms, producers, and restaurants that make local, sustainable food a top priority. Tonight, Jaime Moore from Wayward Seed Farm in Marysville and Jeni Britton Bauer from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams talk about their working relationships and the future of local food in Ohio, in a discussion moderated by Amy Bodiker from Chefs Collaborative, a national network that advocates for sustainable food in the culinary community.

Organic Wines with Wayward Seed Farm

While some may consider January a slow time of year, we're still feeling festive-and we're gearing up for a great 2010 growing season. Early last year we hosted an event at House Wine in Worthington and it was such a rousing success that we're back to do it again. The event is open to everyone. Whether you're a current member of the Wayward family, a CSA newcomer or just simply curious about local farming, please join us! (And bring your friends!)

The event will be held Thursday, January 28th from 6-9pm at House Wine in Worthington. The wine tasting is $15, but not required to attend and customers can taste at their own pace. Reservations are not required. Also, there will be plenty of free parking. For more information, including directions, please email us at farm@waywardseed.com or visit www.housewine.biz.

One final note: Guests joining us to learn about CSA and to participate in the wine tasting will be eligible to win a wonderful gift prepared by House Wine.

We hope to see you there!
