Hey all!
I'm scheduling a Greet-Eat-Meet event with High Plains Food Co-op, and I need to get a head count of who all would like to come!
The Greet-Eat-Meet is an event where the co-op folks will bring a bunch of their yummy local food and cook it up for you to sample and see if you like it and would like to join! Some of the farmers that produce for the co-op will be there too. Who wouldn't like to shake the hand that grew your food?? This is a great chance to ask questions, sample the food, meet the people.
It is going to be September 20th (Friday) at 5:30pm at Evergreen Fire Rescue's administration building on Bergen Parkway. Please let me know if you're interested and how many you'd be bringing! They serve up a whole array of different samples of prepared foods using co-op meats and products, so I need a head-count to know how much food to prepare. Please pm me!
And we have not yet decided whether to feature chicken, beef, or yak meat, so let's hear some votes!

The tomato plants should be a hit, and being organic qualify for the Evergreen Community Garden,
which is all organic.
