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 Why should you come to a Stone Soup dinner? --You can find out how to fix healthy, great-tasting food 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: Stone Soup is sponsored by: http://communityfarmalliance.org Consider attending a local farmer's market in the morning, and attending SSCK in the afternoon.

Next Event: August 21, 2010 at United Crescent Hill Ministries The Door is in front; parking is in the front and along the street. Member Ministries and Community Farm Alliance invite you, your family and guests to a Stone Soup Community Kitchen Supper on August 21st, from 3 to 7 pm at the United Crescent Hill Ministries facility. We will work together to fix a wild meal from who-knows-what the Farmers Markets have an abundance of. Everybody shares in the controlled chaos from prep to clean-up. A KET filem crew will be there to take in the community spectacle. The meals are always tasty and memorable. Stone Soup's goal is to create a supportive, inclusive community where everyone learns to cook with fresh, healthy food from a flourishing market of sustainable local farms. Much of the food comes from area farmers' markets and local gardens collected on the day of the event. Please plan to arrive promptly at 3:00 pm and stay until the end. This is a full cooking experience from prep to clean up. Please RSVP by August 20 to Nate Pederson at 502 299 9520 (cell )or email (nate@metageny.com.
