[MCN] Come Celebrate Our Local Food System With Us!

[Micah Sewell]

We're hoping to fill Burns St. Bistro and show the strength of our local
food system as we hear from five Western Montana food businesses working to
fund their crowdfunded loans. Please join us on Thursday!

------

The Community Food and Agriculture Coalition (CFAC) will host the 3rd
Annual Farm Fresh Pitchfest at Burns St. Bistro on *Thursday, February
21st, from 6-8 PM*. CFAC has selected five western Montana farmers & food
businesses for public funding through Kiva.org’s online microlending
platform.

At the *free live event*, the selected businesses will present live pitches
for their 0%-interest loans. Each loan will allow the businesses to invest
in infrastructure upgrades and expand their operations. Attendees will have
opportunities to contribute to the loans at and after the live event.

Burns St. Bistro will provide a *complementary tasting menu* using selected
ingredients from the pitchmakers’ farms and businesses.

Featured businesses:

Tucker Family Farm (Victor, MT)

House of Ferments (Hamilton, MT)

Southbound Flowers (Florence, MT)

Little Dancing Dog Farm (Stevensville, MT)

Front St. Fungi (Missoula, MT)

This event is free and open to the public. More information is
available at CFAC’s
