Meet Your Farmer Happy Hour – June 13

May 31, 2011 Lindsay Leave a Comment

One of the things city dwellers haven’t thought much about for years is where  our food comes from.  A few years ago I would have answered that question with the Giant Eagle or back in the day The Food Gallery – does anyone else remember that grocery store – it was located where the Shadyside Market District is now located. Anyhow – we are learning – processed food isn’t so good for us, and shipping food around the country and the globe has some drawbacks too.  So there are lots of people who are doing something about local food.

Image via Wikipedia The Tin Front Cafe in Homestead is hosting a birthday celebration for Elvis this Saturday night! The Tin Front Cafe is a unique little place on 8th Avenue (which is the main street of Homestead – not the Waterfront shopping area).  I have been to the cafe for a few other events – this is a very relax place that serves local food and interesting cocktails.  The vibe is very very laid back (not a good place to go if you are in a hurry) but a lovely place to hang out and enjoy your food or… Read the rest
