Dinner supports PEACH farm school

The nonprofit People for Environmental Action and Community Health will host a fundraiser Saturday for its farm school.

The “Grape to Glass and Farm to Fork” dinner will feature a gourmet dinner made with local foods, wine tasting, door prizes, auction and entertainment. Money raised will help PEACH launch its farm school in a new location.

It is planned to be a working farm that will teach students who live onsite about organic farming, host field trips for area students, and offer weekly potlucks and classes for local food and gardening enthusiasts.

The organization recently found a new 13-acre location for the farm school after zoning forced it to close the Spokane Valley Fresh Abundance store and rethink the farm started there this year.

The dinner will be held at 5 p.m. at Fresh Abundance, 2015 N. Division St. Tickets are $60; add a flight of local wines for $26.

Music will be provided by Big Red Barn. Fire dance troupe Bio-Luminescence will perform.
