Join us at the Local Food Community Potluck on Friday, October 3 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Beech Hill Farm at 171 Beech Hill Road in Mount Desert

Let’s come together to celebrate local food as a climate solution at a potluck at Beech Hill Farm! We hope you will join us as we share and enjoy good food in a beautiful setting, play lawn games, listen to live music from Mr. DJ (read more below), and uplift the power of local climate solutions. 

A Climate to Thrive (ACTT) began exactly ten years ago when community members gathered over shared potluck meals to discuss local solutions to the global climate crisis. Sharing food within the community nourishes our collaborative connections and forms a foundation for creative action. Now, more than ever, we need creative communities empowered to act! We are excited to come together at this ten year mark from our founding potlucks to celebrate and cultivate energy for future action. 

In honor of the important role local food systems play in addressing climate change, this potluck will be based on 100-mile potlucks. Folks are invited to bring a dish that centers ingredients sourced locally. Local food potlucks are a way to honor local food systems and the farmers who dedicate their work to feeding the community.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Wilson at wilson@aclimatetothriveorg!
