Grazefest Princeton Celebrates
Pasture-Based Farming
This month, food stores and restaurants in Princeton, New Jersey, will
honor farmers who raise their animals on pasture as part of Grazefest,
a national grassroots promotional campaign that's spreading the word
about the culinary, environmental, animal-welfare, and human-health
benefits of foods from grass-fed and pasture-raised animals.
Throughout the weeklong Grazefest Princeton celebration, scheduled for
November 11-17, restaurants and retailers, including Small World
Coffee, the Bent Spoon, Mediterra, and the Whole Earth Center, will highlight
pasture-raised products through tastings and special menu items.
They'll also distribute free copies of The Great News about Grass-a 12-page,
consumer-oriented booklet that outlines the multiple benefits of
pasture-based farming-and Alternatives to Factory Farms-a brochure that
explains and differentiates labels, such as organic, free-range, and
grass-fed, and points residents to where they can buy pasture-raised
foods.
On Monday evening, November 15, Mediterra Restaurant will host the
Grassfed Gourmet Wine Dinner-a 5-course wine dinner featuring products
from
the region's finest pasture-based farms. Guests will receive a
complimentary copy of The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook-the first-ever cookbook
and
guide to pasture-raised foods.
Grazefest Princeton is sponsored by the Whole Earth Center, a nonprofit
natural foods store based in Princeton; The Nature Conservancy; and
Natural by Nature, producers of organic, grass-fed dairy products. A
project of Eating Fresh Publications, Grazefest Princeton is one of
a
series
of regional Grazefest events that have taken place across the country
this fall.
Communities and organizations that are interested in holding Grazefest
events in their communities can contact Eating Fresh Publications for
