The New Hampshire Farm to Restaurant Connection arranges Growers’ Dinners each season, in which the “majority of dinner courses are made of New Hampshire produced foods.”

The first of the 2008 season will take place right here in the Seacoast at The Dunaway Restaurant at Strawbery Banke, and is cosponsored by McIntosh Atlantic Culinary Academy and Seacoast Eat Local. Chef Ben Hasty will be offering a 5-course mostly local meal for $75 dollars.

Make your reservation today!

Karen Marzloff of Seacoast Local and Seacoast Buy Local wrote a wonderful summary of the Seacoast Local festival:

Seacoast Local Festival on Saturday, June 7 in Market Square from 1-4 p.m.
The third annual Festival will bring together a host of local nonprofits for an afternoon of interaction and fun in the square. There will be games, live performances from local artists and a community art project, but the Seacoast Local Festival is also about bringing the Seacoast community and our nonprofits together to highlight, encourage and sustain the natural and important connections among us. Our nonprofits help those of us in need, they ensure that art and its many benefits are ever-present here, they preserve the history that sets the Seacoast apart from other “tourist destinations,” they encourage and support our local agriculture and food economy and they work hard to both preserve and showcase our precious and wonderfully accessible natural resources.
The Seacoast Local Festival–supported by Piscataqua Savings Bank, RiverRun Bookstore and local volunteers–is about nourishing the organizations and the connections to those organizations that help each of us to thrive.
