The Hospitality Management program and Events Management Club at Naugatuck Valley Community College invite members of the local community to attend the first event in this year’s Autumn Luncheon Series, a “Farm-to-Chef Cookout,” on Wed., Sept. 19 at 12:15 p.m. on the Technology Hall Patio, 750 Chase Parkway. The event is part of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s Farm-to-Chef Week.
The menu features cheeseburgers, corn on the cob and pasta salad for $6 per person and soda for one extra dollar. All of the menu ingredients are obtained from Connecticut farms.
“As well as providing nutritious, fresh food for residents, locally-grown and produced foods contribute $3.5 billion to the state economy and represent about 20,000 Connecticut jobs,” said Governor Malloy in a press release Friday, September 14. “Our state’s farmers produce an astoundingly wide variety of foods, and Farm-to-Chef Week is a great opportunity for people to get out there and really enjoy everything Connecticut has to offer.”
