Table items are popular at auction fundraisers So, what *is* the farm-To-Table movement and how does it tie into your auction fundraiser? Generally speaking, the trend is about sourcing ingredients locally.Imagine the chefs in your town all heading to the neighborhood farmers market and planning their menus for the day or week around the seasonal vegetables, fruits, and meats bought at the market.They're making fresh, often organic, seasonal meals. I recently dined at one of these restaurants and wanted to offer some ideas on how you can incorporate this popular food trend into your own benefit auction event. Here are four benefit the homepage here auction ideas related To the farm-To-Table movement: * Seek a donation from a local restaurant promoting the concept.When your marketing your auction items and writing teaser copy, include advertising for the Farm-To-Table meal.Explain it-Just as i'm doing for you right now.Your audience needs To understand it.Guests will more fully appreciate the item-And bid on it-If they understand what it means.It's possible that a few guests won't understand what"Farm-To-Table"Means unless you define it. * Depending on where you live, some farmers are jumping on the trend and offering meals on their own farms.Ask for a backstage farm tour and two seats at the table.After a quick internet search, i found farms in illinois and colorado offering such meals. * Contact one of the several companies who are in business to organize meals"On the farm"At various farms.Companies like outstanding in the field(Which travels around the usa), Dinners at talrec the Farm(Which focuses on connecticut locations), or Plate and Pitchfork(Which focuses on portland, or locations)Are all working in this realm. * Can't find anything locally?It's fun to create your own dinner.
