Local Foods & Farms Celebration (6÷8÷2008)

June 29, 2008

Campaign for Loudoun’s Future recently spon­sored a local foods and farms cel­e­bra­tion. American Flatbread, a new restau­rant in Ashburn which uses some local ingre­di­ents for their piz­zas, helped to host the event — which made it into The Post and Leesburg Today.

The kids and I stopped by the event, but I was too wiped out by the heat to write it up when I got home that night. Kudos to the many vol­un­teers, local farm­ers, and ani­mals who spent the day in the heat to expose the rest of us to some of our local food options. I’d like to say that we learned a lot, but the real­ity of vis­it­ing an event like that solo with two preschool­ers is that we spent most of our time at the moon­bounce and in the bath­room at American Flatbread. Regardless, fun was had, sheep­skins were touched, and we found a new place to eat out. American Flatbread’s ser­vice was friendly and quick. You can see the flames in the pizza oven from many of the seats. My chil­dren kind of zone out while watch­ing fires, so it makes them more man­agable in restaurants.
