Wonderful local resource directory!!!

"Flavor of Local Foods: A guide to locally grown foods in West Central Missouri (Bates, Cass, Clay, Henry, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Platte, Ray, Vernon, and St. Clair Counties)" published Spring 2007 by University of Missouri Extension and Food Circles Networking Project.

OK, you must definitely look at this resource, print it out, and save it for future reference! If you want a directory of local farmers with contact information and information about what items they offer, this resource will be an invaluable source of information.

Session One: Food Stories

Tonight is our first meeting. We will spend time looking at the "Simply in Season" cookbook and our proposed schedule for future meetings.

Tonight our topic will be "Food Stories". We will learn about food production chains and how our food gets to us. We will discuss the connection between spirituality, faith, and the act of eating.

First discussion group to be January 16, 2008

"Simply in Season", a cookbook that connects faith with food, will be the textbook for a monthly study series at the Warrensburg Church of the Brethren. Classes begin Wednesday, January 16, at 7:00 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. Anyone in the community is welcome to participate. A discussion along with cooking some dishes, speakers, and/or field trips will be planned. Contact the church for more information at 747-6216 or e-mail questions to: pastoralteam at warrensburgcob.com. The church, located at the corner of DD highway and Mitchell Street, is at 802 East Hale Lake Road.
