County to
host first-ever
Grown
in Monmouth Restaurant Week
FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County
Board of Chosen Freeholders invites residents and visitors to support the
County’s local farmers and businesses by attending the first annual Grown in
Monmouth Restaurant Week, which runs from Sunday, July 28 to Sunday, August 4.
“The working relationship between
restaurants and local growers is so vital to the overall economic climate of
the County,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Division
of Economic Development. “The 46 restaurants already signed up are from all
different regions of the County and will offer an array of delicious dishes
that feature ingredients that are grown in Monmouth County.”
Restaurants participating in the Grown in Monmouth Restaurant
Week will feature at least one dish that is made with ingredients that have
been grown in Monmouth County.
All participating
restaurants are featured on the Grown in Monmouth online directory, with new
ones added almost daily. This online directory not
only features restaurants, but also includes farmers markets, community
supported agriculture and gardens, produce distributors and more.
“The Freeholders sought
to promote both the agricultural community and restaurants by showcasing the
respective businesses through one, weeklong event,” said Freeholder Lillian G.
Burry, liaison to the Board of Agriculture. “Restaurant Week will surely
deliver creative cuisine that will have residents and visitors coming back for
seconds.”
