Please join us on Sunday, August 8th at 5:30 PM for the first Local Flavor Community Potluck Picnic, a celebration of locally grown, seasonal food.
You are invited to bring a potluck dish using as many locally grown ingredients as possible from your garden, CSA, Farmer’s Market or farm stand. Label your dish so we know what’s in it and who to thank. Also bring your beverage of choice: if it’s local and in a pitcher to share, even better. We will provide pitchers of refreshing local water.
The picnic will be on the grounds of the First Parish Church of Newbury at 20 High Road adjacent to the New Eden Community Garden and chicken Co-op. In the event of rain we will move the event indoors.
We are aiming for a zero-waste event, so please bring your own “mess kits” – non-disposable plate, cup, utensils and cloth napkin. Leftover vegetable waste can be composted in the New Eden compost bins.
Local musicians are welcome to bring their acoustic instruments and/or voices for a potluck jam session. Don’t just be entertained, be the entertainment!
So come along, bring the family, your potluck dish, beverage of choice, “mess kit”, a blanket or chair for seating and acoustic musical instruments. We’re looking forward to a fun time for all.
The picnic is co-sponsored by Transition Newburyport and the New Eden Collaborative. For further information e-mail transition@transitionnewburyport.org
