Locavores will delight in tonight's "strolling supper" event which celebrates all things Coastside: local chefs cooking local produce to benefit the HEAL (Health, Environment, Agriculture and Learning) Project, an experiential learning program that teaches children how to be healthy, take care of the environment, and learn how to grow their own food ( houses the HEAL garden).

Held at Cypress Meadows in Moss Beach, the "'Spring Ahead' To A Sustainable Future" event will feature the cooking of five chefs who will each prepare dishes using locally produced ingredients:
