"A Harvest Meal"
An Experiential Event
with LaQuandra Nesbitt MD, MPH, Director, Louisville Metro Department of Public Health & Wellness
and
Ivor Chodkowski, Owner/President, Harvest; Owner, Grasshoppers; Owner, Field Day Family Farm
An experiential dinner discussion on local food and moving towards health
Obesity. We know the statistics and we understand the problem. Here at the Health Enterprises Network, we've worked with JCPS to educate students about exercise and healthy eating, we've showcased innovators including Vitality and SHPS and we've partnered with community efforts such as the Mayor's Healthy Hometown Movement. Now, it's time to act together - to come to the table, both figuratively and literally, to determine what we can do as individuals and collectively.
On August 28, the Health Enterprises Network and Harvest Restaurant, an innovator in the farm-to-table movement, invite you to a Harvest Meal - an interactive, participatory three-course dinner. Food will consist of the finest local fare and discussion will focus on burning issues such as food deserts, what local food means, whole foods, sustainable crops, local and state policy and how food choices can improve the obesity epidemic. Dinner patrons will sit among topic experts and engage in dialog about food-driven solutions while enjoying the locally-sourced bounty offered by our area farmers.
