The Red Ball Party is an annual event at WEI which will occur this Sunday, May 17. At this gathering, we clean the insect traps used in the previous orchard season in preparation for hanging these reusable traps again this year. Everyone who helps with the challenge of cleaning the traps deserves the best in gourmet cuisine as fair exchange. We have invited chef Nick Schneider to prepare a tasteful lunch. The work begins at 8:30 and continues until lunch is served around 12:30. Drop by during the morning hours to help us. We need you to RSVP (651-583-0705) so that the lunch will feed everyone who participates in cleaning the traps.
MENU for WEI RED BALL GUESTS:
Salad of Spring Lettuces and Herbs Lemon Vinaigrette
Classic Chicken Soup Veloute
Bruschretta topped with sauteed Ramps
Asparagus & Leek Frittata
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobble
