IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seedling Café to Kick off the 2009 NH Growers’ Dinner Series

Dinner to feature local organic farm products

Chef Josh Enright and his wife, Danielle, members of The New Hampshire Farm to Restaurant Connection, are planning an exciting dinner on Saturday, July 25, 2009 at The Seedling Café, 9 Water Street, Nashua, New Hampshire. Working with New Hampshire’s Red Manse Farm, Middle Branch Farm and the Vegetable Ranch, Chef Enright promises the freshest and highest quality, seasonal ingredients in this multi-course dinner, which will also highlight local cheeses, wines, beers and baked goods.

After graduating from the Whittemore School of Business at the University of New Hampshire, Chef Enright found his profession and passion in the food industry. He began as Sous Chef at CR Sparks, became Restaurant Manager at the Burlington Marriott and was Food and Beverage Director at Loon Mountain. His dream to open his first restaurant was realized when The Seedling Café opened four years ago. Since opening, he and Danielle have supported local farmers and food producers by serving local and organic seasonal produce. The food is grown close to the restaurant, providing diners with highest quality, fresh ingredients. This local sourcing helps sustain New Hampshire farms, preserves its rural heritage and supports the local economy.

The five course dinner gets underway in the Seedling Café’s new dining room at 6 pm at a cost of $45 per person. Call the café at (603) 594-4000 for dinner details and reservations.
