On Thursday June 20 we held our first Farmers Market of
the summer. We partnered with our produce company Midwest Foods who provided
the produce and helped with setup. We also highlighted our made from scratch
baked goods that were also for sale. Among the made from scratch bakery items
were quick breads, cookies and assorted dinner rolls. We grilled hot dogs and
the event had a carnival atmosphere. The event was partnered with the Weinberg
Marketing department who also brought in vendors who were selling jewelry,
scarves and we even had a local bank selling baking services. The event was
marketed to the local community and businesses in the area with an attendance
of around five hundred people. The event was designed to showcase our dining
department and all that we do. It showed our commitment to using fresh local
produce in the items we produce and our from scratch cooking and baking. More
than anything it highlight that we are more than dining, we are also part of
marketing and part of the entire community.
