[zoramargolis]

Join us for a pig roast at the Copper Fox Distillery where we will be serving mouthwatering local eats from the Ashby Inn, Hopkins Ordinary, Griffin Tavern and other prestigious local restaurants and inns and drinks paired with live music and cigars! This locavore feast will include Virginia’s award winning wines, beers from the Mid-Atlantic region, and Wasmund’s own whiskey; a whole roasted pig, lamb, and curried goat; and additional dishes from some of our favorite local restaurants. The still will be running all night, so you can see not only where the award-winning whiskey is made, but how.

Festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at the Copper Fox Distillery, 9 River Lane in Rappahannock, Va., 22740.

Your support will directly benefit the Sprout-up! and the Rappahannock County School BackPack programs.

Tickets are $85 and can be purchased at www.food-shed.org. We look forward to seeing you there!

I should add that this event benefits The Rappahannock County School BackPack program, which provides weekend meals for children who get breakfast and lunch at school every day, because they have been identified as food insecure. On Friday afternoon, they take home enough healthy food in their backpacks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. It's made a huge difference for kids who had previously been hungry on the weekends.
