One Big Night Out to Sustain Sustainable Famers

Flooding in southeastern Minnesota last month caused heavy losses to some of the small farms that practice sustainable farming. Now some of the Twin Cities restaurants that serve locally and sustainably grown foods are lending a helping hand. Dine at any of the participating restaurants next Saturday, September 8, for their One Big Night Out, and they’ll donate a portion of their profits to the relief effort. Participating restaurants include the Birchwood Cafe, Cafe Brenda, Corner Table, The Craftsman, Heartland, Jay’s Cafe, Lucia’s Restaurant, Muffuletta, the Nicollet Island Inn, the Signature Cafe, and Spoonriver.

For an updated list, and information about an upcoming online benefit auction, visit the Slow Food Minnesota website.

You can also make donations directly to the Red Cross Winona chapter, 1660 Kramer Dr.; Winona, MN 55987;; or online to the Sow the Seeds Fund, www.sowtheseedsfund.org.
