FRESHFARM, the nonprofit that brings you the Columbia Heights farmers market, is hosting their annual Feast this Friday, November 13! Join for a FREE virtual chef demonstration featuring Marcelle Afram, Executive Chef of two celebrated DC restaurants: Compass Rose and Michelin-starred Maydan. Learn some tips and tricks from the Maydan and Compass Rose kitchens while raising important funds to support FRESHFARM’s work!
Gather your quaran-team on Friday, November 13 at 7pm and join Chef Marcelle virtually in front of the Maydan hearth to learn a recipe for fatayer, or Lebanese hand pies, using local, seasonal ingredients from the farmers in the FRESHFARM network. During Chef Marcelle’s recipe demo, Feast participants will have the opportunity to learn more about FRESHFARM’s work in response to COVID-19 and donate to support the organization over the course of the evening.
The next day, put what you learned into action and have the Feast come to you! Order a Feast Market Box and get everything you need to make Chef Marcelle’s fatayer, including a copy of the recipe, the link to Chef’s Marcelle demo, recipe ingredients, and extra farmers market treats for feasting at home.
Feast Market Boxes will include products from Columbia Heights farmers market vendors including 78 Acres, Dimitri Olive Oil, Number 1 Sons, Pleitez Produce, and Three Springs Fruit Farm. $75 of every Feast box sale supports FRESHFARM’s work to sustain farmer livelihoods; provide healthy, local food to underserved communities; and promote health through nutrition education. Boxes will be delivered to homes in DC, Maryland, and Virginia within the I-495 Beltway on Saturday, November 14. The last day to order Feast boxes is this Thursday, so place your order soon.
Don’t miss this exciting evening with one of DC’s best chefs! To RSVP, sponsor, purchase your Feast Market Box, or learn more about FRESHFARM’s Feast, go to freshfarm.org/feast.
