Rachel’s Sustainable Feast Sunday, May 25
I don’t know any more about this event than what is contained in the press release, so I’m just going to reproduce the press release verbatim. I suppose that’s what usually happens with newspapers, too—they just don’t reveal that’s what they’re doing.
SAVE THE DATE for Rachel’s Sustainable Feast, May 25 from noon to 5:00 p.m. outside Rachel’s house in Springdale. The best of Pittsburgh’s chefs committed to buying locally, more local farmers’ markets, and as many of the region’s great environment, conservation and fair-trade organizations and vendors as we can squeeze into the block party.
This year we’re challenging people to travel to the event in as sustainable a method as possible - walk, bike, paddle, bus, carpool, use alternative fuel. $5 General Admission (kids under 6 FREE) For more details, follow this link.
This event is part of the Pittsburgh Great Outdoors Week www.greatoutdoorsweek.org

Hi - thanks for posting the Rachel’s Sustainable Feast info. I organize this event so I hope you and all your readers are able to come. It’s a fun afternoon, featuring everything great going on in our own backyards. With so many farmers commited to sustainable and organic agriculture - plus all the great hot chefs who buy locally - not to mention all the terrific organizations who are dedicated to clean up the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil we grow in - SW Pennsylvania is a pretty great place to live. The Feast’s goal is to connect as many people with all these wonderful resources. And, of course, to promote Rachel Carson’s legacy
* Live in harmony with nature
* Preserve and learn from natural places
* Minimize the effect of man-made chemicals on the natural systems of the world, and
* Consider the implications of human actions of the global web of life.
