Tuesday to-do: TFC's A Food and Drink Affair | vegan moxie

If your plans for tomorrow evening consist of, well, the usual, I have an event that will take you off the couch, into some great local businesses, get you mingling with other members of your community and supporting an excellent cause.

The Tacoma Food Co-Op will be hosting TFC Food & Drink Affair this evening from 6-9 p.m. at Bluebeard Coffee and Cork! Wine Bar. This event is open to all and not just members, so come out and bring your friends. The event is all ages as well, and there?s a 21 and over section that will be near the bar inside Cork!

Included in the array of events for this special evening are: a coffee tasting (Bluebeard is staying open late specifically for this event), wine at happy hour prices, many local vendors that will sell their products at Tacoma Food Co-op will attend with tasty treats for sampling, (TFC informed me there will be vegan treats at the event) and more. The Co-Op will receive 10% of Cork?s sales for the night, which is an excellent incentive to come out, enjoy some delightful wine, chat with friends old and new and meet your fellow co-op owners.

Here?s a sampling of the vendors that will be in attendance:
- Tofu Phil from Vashon Island will sample his Small Planet Tofu and dips. Island Spring Tofu from Vashon Island will be there, too
- Samantha from Tacoma will have samples from the Pip & Lola?s Soap collection
- Intrigue Chocolates from Pioneer Square will be armed with organic chocolate truffles
- Tobin from Tacoma will relax you with free Mad Hat Tea tastings
- Neal from Essential Baking will bring some of their freshly baked, artisan breads
- Sevierly Good Gluten Free Baking Mixes
- Tacoma Mountain Muesli
- Main Street Cookie Company and Jumpin? Jellies Jams, Jellies and Butters

I am personally intrigued about the tofu vendors coming. Locally made tofu? I?ve been seeking some for years! Count me in.

There will also be raffles going on in the earlier half of the evening and many baskets filled with local food and goods will be the prizes. Winners will be announced at 7:30 p.m., so get in early if you want to have a shot at taking some home.

The Co-Op isn?t just going to be a grocery store (I covered that and more here), but rather will eventually function as a community center as well. TFC wants to get those who?ve already joined the Co-Op even more fired up, and get those not familiar with it up to speed on where the co-op is now (still needing to raise additional funds before August 1), and hopefully getting them on board to support this greatly needed community resource.

I will definitely be in attendance and I hope to see you there!
