With the change of seasons and menus at farm to table restaurants many wonderful new and yummy items are being added to menus. With my mind filling with pumpkin dishes let me tell you about an event I was emailed about…
To check out some great food ideas check out the Toyota Hybrid Farm to Table Tour the Baltimore Farmers Market & Bazaar on Sunday, October 4, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 12:00 p.m.
Throughout the market, 12 local chefs and farmers will be paired together for a day that highlights the Baltimore Farmers Market’s offerings. The chefs will prepare special tastings showcasing their partner farm’s fresh ingredients and visitors will have the opportunity to sample the chefs’ creations while also learning more about the market vendors, their products, and how to buy and eat seasonally.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to select potted culinary herb plant starts at the Mobile Garden Highlander Hybrid, and can also enter for a chance to win a unique culinary prize package. Toyota will also provide interested market goers with the opportunity to take a ride in the 3rd Generation Prius or a 2009 Highlander Hybrid and take home a John Boos cutting board as a thank you gift.
"This wonderful partnership with Toyota brings an exciting worthwhile event to the Baltimore Farmers Market. The Farm to Table Tour gives market-goers an opportunity to discover various culinary dishes that can be made with fresh food purchased directly from farmers,” said Bill Gilmore, Executive Director of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts. “In addition, the contribution made by Toyota in support of the Baltimore Farmers Market demonstrates their commitment to our partnership.”
