To Make a Farm
Monday, February 6 • 6:30 PM • Spinnakers/Cap 6
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” -Virginia Woolf.
Ms. Woolf couldn’t have been more correct – except VFF would bring her statement up to date by adding ‘watch movies’!
The local food movement is growing strong and there has been no better advocate than Spinnakers. Long before it became a trend they were serving locally sourced food. It was only natural that when we wanted to put the spotlight on food we would ask them to do a dinner. Diners will enjoy a 3-course dinner at Spinnakers and then move to the Capitol 6 Theatre for a screening of To Make a Farm, a year in the life of five new farmers (description below.)
