Claire's Corner Copia Earth Dinner, 2006. Select your choices from our organic ala carte menu and dine on a splendid meal celebrating organic and sustainable foods, as you enjoy hearing from our beloved farmers, Joe and Rebecca from the Common Ground High School who grow our organic summer produce each year. We plan to also host an organic dairy farmer from Organic Valley Cooperative. Please join us. Reserve a table for this exciting event. A portion of the proceed from the evening will benefit Common Ground High School.

Special thanks go to our friends at the Organic Valley Cooperatives, who support their farmers in every way possible, allowing them to produce the best organic dairy products possible. And, to the Chef's Collaboritive, for their vision and inspiration through their support and leadership to make for a more sustainable world.
