LOCAL Food and Wine Tasting a big success

Thanks so much to all of our customers, local chefs, local producers, local wineries and local breweries who made our Farm-to-Table tasting a great success!

Talk about plenty of food!  We started with appetizers: hand-made ravioli from Via Elisa, mini bruschetta from Sweetwater Growers.  Next, the entrees from our GREAT local chefs: Persian Chicken with Mixed Greens (from Rumi’s Kitchen), Jerk Chicken and Shrimp Pasta (from Chef Rob’s Caribbean Cafe) and BBQ Brisket Sandwiches (from 5 Seasons Brewery).  Now wash it all down with beer from Sweetwater Brewery and wines from Still Pond Wines and Wolf Mountain Vineyards and man, what a feast!

At Whole Foods Market we encourage our customers to “Eat LOCAL” and this event gave us the chance to show just how delicious that can be!  We urge you to seek out locally and regionally grown products.  Not only will you enjoy the fresh, great tasting product, but you will support the local economy at the same time.  To learn more about our commitment to LOCAL visit http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/locally-grown/index.php.
