“Baltimore Woods believes in the importance of people experiencing a direct and profound connection to nature,” said Patty Weisse, executive director of the nature center. “What better way to connect to the natural world than through the foods that nourish our bodies, provided by the local food industry that enriches our community?”
The event highlights Central New York as an agricultural haven, and seeks to connect the growers, producers and chefs with the community.
“Being part of the local harvest dinner introduced our pasta to new customers,” said participating vendor Jon Stadt, of Flour City Pasta. “This event was incredibly influential for our business —which we are very grateful for.”
Tickets are $20 for Baltimore Woods members and $35 for non-members, and can be purchased online at baltimorewoods.org, by emailing info@baltimorewoods.org, or by calling 673-1350. The nature center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus.
