Using locally-grown foods, the Princeton area's best chefs came together to raise $12,000 for Sustainable Jersey by creating a delicious farm-to-table dinner served at Terhune Orchards in Lawrence Township last week.
Last week’s "Sustainable Fare for Sustainable Jersey" farm-to-table event raised about $12,000 for Sustainable Jersey, the statewide program that encourages municipalities to “go green” by adopting environmentally-friendly practices.

"I decided to have a dinner party. I approached Chris [Albrecht] at Eno Terra because they are very well-known for supporting Terhune Orchards." Albrecht …
