Green Drinks is a monthly cocktail/networking for green minded people and businesses. Here's the 411 on their event tomorrow, September 24th.
Green Drinks, Santa Fe Alliance and Mauka invite you to a special dinner gathering to highlight the Farm to Restaurant Project, which encourages farmers, food producers and chefs to work directly with each other to build partnerships resulting in a stronger and healthier local economy.
Wednesday, September 24th, at 6:30 pm, Chef Joel Coleman will regale us with a selection of farm fresh menu items with a special Green Drinks price. He garners his meats from Shepherd’s Lamb, Pollo Real Chicken and Pecos Valley Beef; his veggies from Gemini Farms, Jacona Farms, and Romero Farms; and those delicious mushrooms from Desert Fungi. As a matter of fact, he works with so many food producers in the area that it’s too numerous to mention all of them here. Mauka’s general menu offers both starters and entrees that showcase a variety of local products from growers you probably have met at the Farmers Market.
Joel makes sustainability and community a priority for the restaurant by recycling, offering recycled to-go boxes and using a restaurant-wide purified water system from Santa Fe by Design rather than offering bottled water. He will graciously close the restaurant to the public for this special Green Drinks community event, so please do us the honor by responding to this e-mail if you are planning to attend.
Come out and support your local community by attending this Green Drinks harvest bounty at Mauka!
