According to Nell Funk, owner of event host NWC Food Incubator (which created the Harvest Celebration 6 years ago), "supporting access to locally grown food is a cause on the rise, and the enthusiasm with which chefs and producers collaborate each year is always exciting. Without a doubt, the resulting dishes come together to create a uniquely wonderful chef tasting 'menu' which earns rave reviews every year." For people who support eating local and want to ensure the continued success of Evanston’s wonderful Farmers Market, this family friendly outdoor celebration is the event to attend!
