Urban Roots & Cook St Paul Pop Up Dinner, Friday November 20th 5pm-9pm
In 2015, youth growers working in our entrepreneurial-based Market Garden Program, produced over 13,000 pounds of fresh vegetables on urban land on St. Paul’s East Side. On Friday November 20th, we are teaming up with Cook St Paul for a pop-up dinner to highlight our end of season harvest bounty with some great neighborhood flavor! The small-plate menu is headed up by Cook Chef Taeyln Lang, who has created an amazing array of dishes featuring gorgeous crops from our gardens. This produce traveled less than one mile to your plate…come by and enjoy fresh, local bites brought to you by Urban Roots and Cook St Paul!
