Forage at the Farm – Thanks!


Thanks to everyone for participating in our first MCMBA Progressive Breakfast at Lakeshore today! I think the brisk morning temperatures may have scared a few away, but those with the fortitude to brave 45 degree temps enjoyed some awesome treats and camaraderie.

Our volunteers hosted eight stations throughout the trail: Coffee, Pancakes, Juices, Bacon/Sausage, Fruits, Pastries, Eggs, and Desserts. The treats and homemade specialties that our volunteers contributed added a tasty (and personal) touch that we all appreciated. I know that I have a new appreciation for PBR mixology!

While considering the cholesterol in the 16 lbs of bacon that we consumed, please enjoy the following photos (Thanks Claudia and Mike!)
