First Official Fundraiser a Smashing Success!

On Saturday, December 1 Farmer Frog hosted its first official fundraiser, a gourmet dinner designed and created by Chef Jonas Story Drake of The Repp restaurant in Snohomish, WA (http://www.therepp.com/).  Delighted diners were treated to a lavish feast many local seasonal foods including a soup of cumin winter squash puree, tomato powder and smoked mussels and an entree of lamb & beef (grass-fed local) two ways, or salmon, halibut or chicken, potatoes or gluten-free pasta (all local ingredients), and a chanterelle conserva a jus lie.  The whole menu is posted below for you to drool over! Many local companies donated the superb ingredients for the feast.  Special guest, Ciscoe Morris of local television and radio fame (Gardening with Ciscoe, http://www.ciscoe.com/) who gave the toast and entertained the group, pronounced the food the best he had ever eaten!  From the looks on the faces of the diners below it would appear that they wholeheartedly agree!

Many thanks to all of our generous corporate and individual donors for your support of Farmer Frog!
