Taste test locally grown food, meet farmers | Community Spirit

A group of businesses in downtown Wilmington will partner for a farmer meet and greet on Saturday, encouraging residents to buy localy grown food.

Owner and chef of Crow Hill, Derrick Cook, will prepare food from Down East Connect's farmers in The Daily Special truck at two locations in the area.

The first 150 people to come to each location will get free samples of the dishes.

The first stop on the Meet and Greet tour will be at Porter's Neck Yoga and Spa, 8044 Market St., from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Then it's off to the House of Wine and Cheese in Leland, 511 Olde Waterford Way, from 4 to 6pm.
