Just as more people nationwide are eating more local food, farmland is increasingly at risk for development. Applewood Restaurant, a delicious spot in Brooklyn, is acting locally with a fundraiser featuring a silent auction. Cocktails will ply the bids and the hors d’oeuvres served will be made with produce from Lucky Dog Organic, the fundraiser beneficiary. Where the money goes...New York State is considering a development rights easement grant for part of the land where Lucky Dog Organic farms. Money raised from this fundraiser and others will help pay the portion of the easement grant not paid by the New York State. Admission is $20. which includes hors d’oeuvres. The party is Sunday, February 8th at 6 pm. There will be a cash bar. If you can't make the fundraiser and want to help save a patch of land in upstate New York, checks can be sent to the Applewood Restaurant mailing address made out to Farm Catskills, an advocacy group assisting with the cause.
