| A Spring Harvest Celebration will be held on Sunday, April 17, 2011, at River City Grill in Punta Gorda. A collaboration of Worden Farm, the Charlotte Technical Center Culinary Arts Program, and River City Grill, this farm-to-table event will feature multiple grazing stations, offering a full dinner’s worth of delicious dishes using sustainably-produced, locally-sourced foods. The event will begin with a full cash bar cocktail hour at 5:00 p.m., with the grazing stations opening at 6: 00 p.m. $50 per person. Call River City Grill to reserve tickets, at (941) 639-9080. River City Grill is located at 131 West Marion Ave., Punta Gorda, FL, 33950. Grazing stations will feature prepared dishes with local organic produce from Worden Farm, created and served by Charlotte Technical Center’s Culinary Arts Program Chef Instructor Jason Osborne, and his talented student chefs. At each grazing station, crops featured in the prepared dishes will be displayed alongside, in their raw, freshly-harvested states, with information about how each crop is grown. Diners will be welcomed by Chris Worden, Ph.D. and Eva Worden, Ph.D., owners of Worden Farm. The apprentice farmers from Worden Farm will be on hand to discuss organic farming with guests, and River City Grill’s Executive Chef Steve Iadevaia will be available to share his experiences of using local organic produce at River City Grill. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Charlotte Technical Center Culinary Arts Program. The mission of the Charlotte Technical Center (CTC) is to provide an effective, innovative technical education preparing students to enter, advance, and succeed in the workplace. |
