In celebration of its Round Up For Good program, Menomonie Market Food Co-op is hosting its Harvest Dinner with a meet-and-greet with local farmers, some of whom have their homegrown food featured on the menu.

The fundraiser dinner will showcase local ingredients from current and past Fund Our Foodshed winners – five farms were awarded in 2024, including Jeremiah’s Fish Farm in Menomonie and Farm Doc Microgreens in Strum – to create a casual appetizer and dinner feast. Folks can enjoy the curated menu, specialty drinks, and meet local farmers from 5-8pm Thursday, Sept. 5, on the upper floor of the downtown Eau Claire co-op.

The burning, mouthwatering question: What’s on the menu?

Starters include Deviled Duck Eggs, Trout Tree Ways Canapé, and Veggie Crudités with Greener Goddess Dressing; Specialty drinks include a Wisco Bloody Mary with local meat and cheese garnish, the Sweet Tea Mojito, Sacred Blossom Iced Tea (N/A), and Rosemary’s Berry cocktail. Here’s the full dinner menu and more:

Tickets are $20/person and include appetizers, dinner, dessert, and entrance to view presentations and meet with the Fund Our Food Shed grant winners.
