Description

"Living a Plant Forward Life for the Bay and Your Body" is the theme of the October 12 episode of "Chesapeake Farm & Bay to Table." This popular virtual cooking series is produced by Harford County Public Library and Chef John Shields' Our Common Table and highlights Maryland farms, fisheries and local businesses. The program will be presented via Zoom from 7 to 8 p.m.
 
The Chesapeake Bay and watershed harbors a habitat unique to the East Coast of the United States. This environment has impacted and inspired local foods and recipes throughout generations. Join Library CEO Mary Hastler and Chef John as they take a tour of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation with Hilary Harp Falk, CEO of the foundation, at its headquarters in Annapolis. From there, our hosts will travel to CBF’s Clagett Farm, a farm that explores and exemplifies farming practices that can be sustainable, both economically and environmentally.
 
Back in the kitchen, Chef John, Mary and Hilary will whip up dishes inspired by the natural beauty of the Chesapeake that nourish our bodies.
