Stone Soup Community Kitchen

May through November 2010 -- All over Greater Louisville!

What is Stone Soup Community Kitchen?

Stone Soup Community Kitchen dinners are held about once a month when local farmers have produce--mostly in the summer and fall. Those who gather at these Stone Soup suppers will work together to fix a meal that everybody shares. We try to use foods grown in the greater local area. Much of the food is gleaned from nearby farmers markets where the farmers donate their food so as to encourage cooking demonstrations of their foods everywhere. The dinners are FREE, but everybody who comes with the expectation to help fix the gleaned food and clean up after the meal. Donations are gratefully accepted. Even people who don’t know how to cook can help – we’ll all learn together. The Stone Soup dinners are held at different places around the city. That makes it easier for people from several parts of town to experience this event. We usually ask people to arrive and start to fix the food at 4pm--food is ready to eat around 6pm. Please check dates and exact times of the Stone Soup events at the bottom of this page when it becomes available.

Why does Stone Soup use mostly foods that are from the Louisville regional area?

-- Food grown nearby is usually fresher than food shipped from far away
-- Locally grown food often tastes better than food grown far away
-- We help our local economy and not big farms in far away states

Why should you come to a Stone Soup dinner?

--You can find out how to fix healthy, great-tasting food
--You can learn new ways to use locally grown fruits and vegetables
--Both vegetarian and meat dishes are served
--Stone Soup dinners are fun for the whole family
--Each dinner includes activities for children
--You can learn ways to eat healthy foods on a budget

There will always be quick reading of the Stone Soup fable picture book for the kids prior to the meal. Adults can listen, too! Check out the Medieval fable:

Look for an announcement of the August event (3rd Saturday) in the near future. It will be at the United Crescent Hill Ministries Center near Pope St and Frankfort Ave. And then there's the Americana Center in September, but we're getting ahead of ourselves...

June 2010's Stone Soup Kitchen Event at the Presbyterian Community Center was really fun and the environs were awesome. Big thanks to the Facility Admins!

May 2010's event at Portland Community Center was a blast with many features that were most memorable.
