Sustainable Fare for Sustainable Jersey - 'Farm to Table Fundraiser'

Terhune Orchards is delighted to host Sustainable Fare for Sustainable Jersey, a fundraiser to benefit Sustainable Jersey.  Local chefs and farms will come together to celebrate the Farm to Table movement and promote awareness about sustainability efforts while raising money for Sustainable New Jersey's programs.

"Support for Sustainable Jersey has become critical to the progress many towns have made in advancing environmental stewardship and healthy communities," Terhune Orchards owner Pam Mound said.  "The night will be a celebration of local food and the chefs, restaurants and farms who are known for there dedication to focusing on fresh local ingredients.  It will be a deliciously fun evening for a good cause."

Guest will enjoy a five-course meal with wine pairing, cocktails, and music by the Riverside Band in the new Terhune Barn that was build by the Amish.  The following chefs have donated their time and talent for the event:  Jim Weaver of Tre Piani, Scott Anderson of Elements, Chris Graciano of Witherspoon Grill, Edgar Urias of Blue Point Grill, and Chris Albrecht of Eno Terra, Gab Carbon and Matt Errico of the Bend Spoon are also participating.

The Farm to Table benefit will take place on Thursday, August 9th. Cocktails will be served starting at 5:00 pm and dinner begins at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $150 per person and can be purchase at sustainablejersey.com.

Sustainable Jersey, a non-profit, runs a certification program that empowers towns to build a better world for present and future generations.  The program provides a road-map towns can follow to initiate and promote sustainable actions that improve the quality of life.  More that 350 towns have registered to become a part of the program that was founded by the New Jersey League of Municipalities, the College of New Jersey, the State of New Jersey and hundreds of volunteers from around the state.
