Recently, OakPark.com dining blogger David Hammond attended the Prairie Fruits ‘Farm Aid’ Fall Harvest and Cheesemaker Dinner hosted by Marion Street Cheese Market, 102 S. Marion. The message of the evening was to promote sustainable farming and demonstrate the quality and impact of farm-to-table food.
