Mid-winter Provençal Dinner
We have arrived at the time of the year again
that could be quite crazy and stressful, if we choose that, but luckily
for us we have our year round farmers' market in Walnut Creek to
alleviate some of the holiday madness. Just the action of strolling
through the market every Sunday can melt away troubles to be replaced
with blissful winter fruit and vegetable purchasing. It feels good to
consume and support local produce. There are also so many holiday gifts
to be found at the market that you could forgo the mall entirely as I
do. Jams, sauces, baked goods, honey and all the citrus and hard fruits
have staying power in a basket and are welcome sights over hard, smelly,
imported plastics. You can also go to our website and download recipes
for these incredibly desired gifts of seasonal foods.
Six years after
our organization's last strategic plan, we're pleased to announce a
new one that will guide us through the next three years. Our goal
for the coming period is strictly internal and inspired very much by
the feedback we have received from you: to enhance the value of the
SFPFS to its members. We hope you'll read it and be as excited as we
are. The only way we can pull off this new effort is with your help.
