Loyal locavores Jan and Dan Sims will be hosting the December 100 mile radius potluck at their beautiful home, Arden Hearth (www.ardenhearth.com). Thanks for this hospitality!

We will gather on Tuesday, December 15 at 6pm, at 202 N. 15th Street.

Bring a dish celebrating local food - whether every single ingredient was grown within 100 miles of Richmond, or just the main ones, give local cooking your best shot.

Bring your own dishes, as well, to keep things simple for our hosts.

And as always, if you can't pull a dish together, you can come without food!
