Jeff's annual organic raw vegan picnic potluck! Green Lake Edition!

11:00 AM to 4:00 PM (You're welcome to stay longer)!
The main potluck will be at 1:00 PM. Feel free to bring extra snacks for before and after!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:
• PLEASE honor these requests, so we are ALL on the same page!!!
• ALL ORGANIC foods (some exceptions, such as durian, which we cannot find organic in the PNW). Certified organic or at least grown organically please (No pesticides and No GMO)!
• All vegan foods: no animal products! (No meats, no eggs, no dairy, and no honey or other bee products!)
• All raw foods: no cooked foods. Any processed foods (such as kale chips) should be labelled as raw (not processed/heated above 118 degrees)
• All natural! (Please no artificial chemicals or preservatives!)
• We love raw organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, etc.! Gourmet-ish chefs often get creative with wonderful salads, raw vegan entrees like lasagnas, desserts, etc.
• These events are about abundance! If eaten alone, one person's food should fill at least 2-3 people (minimum - your food should COMPLETELY FILL YOU!).
• Please provide a detailed list of ingredients for whatever you bring.
• When preparing your foods, please use standard food prep practices (hand-washing prior to handling foods, rinsing produce, etc.)
• If this is your first time and you don't know what to bring, consider a fresh organic fruit or vegetable salad with dressing on the side.
• For those who can prepare gourmet raw food recipes, bring it on! This is a chance to share delicious raw food recipes with each other, and further the raw food mission of health and peace, as well as inspire others to create amazing gourmet raw vegan foods!
• Please bring your own dishware and utensils, including serving utensils!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐒:

• Are you an early bird who can get there at 10 to hold the spot and/or help set-up? Please let me know!
• Let's celebrate summer with some wonderful company, fun games and activities, and some vibrant raw living foods!!!
