It’s Friday and there is no better way I can think to close out the week than with a good happy hour.
We’ve been fans of the custom cocktail creations at Grange for quite some time, as you see from our previous SacFoodies posts, here and here. But what makes their latest specialty happy hour unique is that it is benefiting a really great cause!
Harvest Sacramento is an initiative of Soil Born Farms and seeks to use underutilized produce to keep the produce from going to waste. All proceeds from the specialty cocktail creations will go to support this cause and the produce used in the drinks was picked by volunteers from Sacramento-area trees!
Best part of this happy hour special? The custom drinks will be featured at Grange for the remainder of March and all proceeds will continue to benefit Harvest Sacramento throughout the month.
Meyer Lemon Black Pepper, Almost Spring Sangria and Pomelo Punch (which serves two and is served out of a Sacramento-grown Pomelo) are the delicious drink options available to get you ready for the spring season here in Sacramento.
Stop by the Grange during the month of March Monday-Friday from 3-6 p.m. to try the Harvest Sacramento specialty cocktails and support the cause.
Cheers.

Harvest Sacramento for a Great Cause
If you read our recent garden post, you know that we take great pride in our backyard gardens. One of the best parts about growing your own fruits and veggies is not only tasting the results, but sharing them with others. So, it’s no surprise that we were excited to hear about a Sacramento organization that uses backyard harvests to eliminate hunger.
Harvest Sacramento is a volunteer organization that harvests extra fruit from backyard trees, and then passes it along to local food agencies to feed the hungry. This year, they harvested more than 8,200 pounds of fruit from Sacramento backyards!
Want to get involved? Harvest Sacramento’s upcoming Garden Highway Harvests are the perfect way to start!
On Saturday, October 10th and 17th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Harvest Sacramento will harvest more than 10,000 pounds of Asian pears, plums, apples and more from an old orchard that hasn’t been maintained for several years. All you need to do to help out is RSVP and arrive at your designated harvest location ready to pick fruit and help a great cause!
