Food for Thought in Fairfield
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
Do you want to be inspired by ways for you and your family to eat better?
As part of an on-going effort to help educate people about their approach to nutrition, and how their approach can overcome many of the health challenges our community faces today, the Fuel for Learning Partnership is hosting the Food for Thought Expo on Saturday at Fairfield Warde High School with the theme, “Make Every Meal Count.”
The expo is free and open to the public and will feature cooking demonstrations, including an appearance by Michel Nischan, owner and founder of Westport’s Dressing Room restaurant, President and CEO of Wholesome Wave Foundation, and author of the bestselling cookbooks Sustainably Delicious and Homegrown: Pure and Simple, as well as a wide variety of vendors ready to help area residents make the best possible choices in local produce, meats, groceries, and ready-made foods.
Over thirty exhibitors will showcase their products and services that will help visitors make “every meal count.” Events to be held throughout the day include movies, children’s activities, and cooking demonstrations using whole foods by Phoebe Lapine and Cara Eisenpress from Big Girls, Small Kitchen; Linda Soper-Kolton from Green Gourmet to Go; Sue Cadwell of Health in a Hurry; and Amie Hall, CHHC, AADP, of From Your Inside Out. Participating businesses and organizations include Black Rock Farmstand, Borders Books, Fairfield Cheese Company, Fairfield Public Library, Farmers Cow, Sport Hill Farm, Stone Gardens Farm, CT Farm Fresh Express, Southport CSA, Project Hope Garden, Robek’s Juice, Wave Hill Breads, Jeff Borofsky’s Portable Pizza Oven, and many others.
