First Potluck Scheduled for March 29

The Enright Ridge CSA has potluck dinners throughout the season to meet and discuss work and the organization, to socialize, and best of all, to enjoy and share the bounty of what we’ve grown. The first potluck of the 2012 season is scheduled for Thursday, March 29, 6:00 pm at Imago (back in the woods at 700 Enright Avenue, just about a block from the greenhouse).

The word put-luck first turned up in sixteenth century England. It was used there to refer to food that a host provided for an unexpected or uninvited guest—literally, the luck of the pot. It developed the connotation of a communal meal, where all the guests bring their own food to share with everyone else, in the American West during the late nineteenth century, possibly influenced by Native Americans who often had ceremonial feasts called potlatches, at which the host gave away gifts to all the guests.

Potlucks are a staple of community groups everywhere nowadays, and you never know what you might find on the table. You might find your new favorite food at an Enright CSA potluck this season. Please join us for the first potluck on March 29, meet some of the folks involved in the CSA, and try some of the delicious potluck offerings.

You’ll find the Enright CSA Potluck on the calendar of events we’ve recently added to our website, too.
