Hello Portland Chefs Collaborative folks, hope you are having a wonderful summer! Can you join us for a PCC gathering in just over a week on Sunday July 25th? We have a wonderful opportunity to hold a meeting at Luscher Farm in Lake Oswego (thanks, Laura), AND to have the author Temra Costas as a guest speaker. She just published the book Farmer Jane, profiling women in the local food movement, and has offered to speak to us and sign books.
Yes, it’s last minute notice. Yes, it’s the middle of summer, busy farming & wedding season, right when people are taking vacations. But we’d love it if you can make the event and help us plan the rest of 2010. Portland Chefs Collaborative is looking to set up a planning committee with great ideas on how to engage chefs and others in the local, sustainable food scene around Portland in meetings and events that are educational and entertaining, and that involve some great food. Farmers, food buyers, food lovers, bakers, ranchers, fishers, caterers, processors, and of course chefs are all welcome. Please bring a picnic lunch and friends/family.
What: July PCC Meeting & Picnic, with Guest Speaker Temra Costa
Where: Luscher Farm, Lake Oswego (map)
When: 7/25, Noon-2pm
How: please carpool, there is limited parking
Who: Temra Costa is author of Farmer Jane; PCC meeting run by Sarah Curtis-Fowler of Pacific Pie Company and David Yudkin of HotLips Pizza
Picnic! Bring everything you need to set up a picnic while listening to Temra, including a blanket and/or chairs and drinks. If you want to bring extra to share, we’ll set up a table for extra bounty.
RSVP - it would be great if you could drop us a line and let us know that you can join us, just so that we have a general idea of numbers. It’s not necessary, though, if you forget to email, you should still come!
