On Saturday, August 14 the Indianapolis Vegetarian Society (IVS), in partnership with Farm Fresh Delivery, will host their tenth annual Indianapolis vegetarian dinner fundraiser—Savor the Summer Garden.
Indianapolis’ premier door-to-door provider of fresh, organic produce, Farm Fresh Delivery, will supply the event with the finest fruits and vegetables from local summer gardens. This is the second year that IVS has teamed up with a local business to specifically highlight produce that can be grown locally and prepared in non-traditional and delicious ways.
“Eating vegetarian and eating locally are two of the best and easiest ways to get healthier,” said Nancee Reeves a long-time member of IVS and a Savor organizer. “Farm Fresh is a partner that supports the core reason we do Savor, that promoting our own health and supporting our local communities and our larger environment are all connected endeavors.”
The event will be held at Earth House at 237 N. East St., from 1PM to 3PM. Tickets are $12 in advance $15 at the door. Tickets are available at Earth House and at Whole Foods Market or online at BrownPaperTickets. For children ages 4-10 tickets are only $6. Three and under eat free.
“People still ask me, ‘As a vegetarian, what do you eat?’” said Jessica Suhre, Indianapolis Vegetarian Society president. “We eat very well. Having specific rules means vegetarians go out of their way to expose themselves to new foods and unique combinations. We hope that people will come out and see what we’ve learned and share a meal with us in a friendly, laid-back atmosphere.”
Designed around the local, organic fruits and vegetables from Farm Fresh Delivery, the menu from WISH TV 8’s own Chef Wendell will offer delights like Black Bean “Sushi” Wraps with Cilantro Aioli and Creamy Polenta with Toasted Corn..
Booth space for partners and sponsors is available.
