Even though it was cold and rainy outside, the atmosphere at Patrona Restaurant and Lounge was warm and cheery this past Monday in celebration of national Food Day. Community members and local farmers gathered for Farmer's Night Out- a celebration of local food and all who grow it.
Dinners enjoyed a delicious and locally sourced menu including pumpkin, chard and fried pepper lasagna, potato hash with smoked wild boar sausage and vegetarian surf n' turf with delicata squash and seaweed. Food has a way of bringing people together and this was the perfect setting for farmers and community members to meet and mingle.
We also raffled off a $50 gift card to the Ukiah Farmer's Market in recognition of the 35th Anniversary of this local food institution.
A big thank you to all who contributed: Aqua Gardens Family Farm, Zeni Ranch, Mendocino Grain Project, Sharmrock Artisan Goat Cheese, Inland Ranch, Cinnamon Bear Farms, Leonardis Organics, Mendocino Organics, Dillanni Gardens, Ocean Harvest Sea Vegetable Company, Schat's Bakery, Stella Cadente Olive Oil Company.
