In the giving-credit-where-credit-is-due department, allow me to note the following regarding last week’s Pioneers of Local & Organic Food event, courtesy Joshua Kendall (who gets much of the organizational and design credit) of the Community Mercantile:

• About 350 attended, including more than 280 paid admissions.
• Local Burger, The Casbah and the Merc staffs prepared the food.
• Several additional vendors donated samples: Treehouse Berry Farm, Grace’s Best Sunflower Cookies, Zum, Tall Grass Toffee, Blooming Lotus, Sleepy Jean’s Confections, Wild Thyme Herb Farm, Pendleton Blue Corn Chips, Alma Cheese, Anthony’s Honey BBQ sauce, New Grass Bison Company, Pinwheel Farm, Chestnut Charlies and Ancient Grains Bakery.

Then there were the sponsors mentioned last time.

Thanks, everybody! If you, readers, know anyone I left out, let me know. If you know links to the unlinked businesses, let me know that, too. And if you know these vendors, thank them and support them with your trade.
