Local Local Food

Neighborhood Food Party

Raw milk? Homemade yogurt? Homemade sauerkraut? These and more local treats were on the menu last night at the inaugural meeting of the 1000 year old food club. Brett and I went to this amazing event with friends, Micah and Rachel. More of a grazing/snacking party than a dinner party, guests were invited to bring along things they had made or grown themselves. The hosts were the community group Prairie Table. Prairie Table is picking back up again after a hiatus and are hoping to help start a community supported shared kitchen. They want to educate and inspire folks in Champaign County around local food issues. New Prairie Table member, Daniel Schreiber, welcomed guests and shared his homemade artisanal chocolate. You can read more about Schreiber’s chocolate here.
My favorite thing was the raw milk and the local “spun” honey, eating these delicious flavors was a very peaceful experience. Schreiber told us the milk had been grass only 3 hours prior. Wow!
Block Steady hopes to host a local foods feast with Prairie Table this spring, so stay tuned for yumminess.
