Fresh RX Dinner

Lox Farms in Loxahatchee is taking the notion of “food as thy medicine” one step further with the launch of Fresh Rx. Presented in partnership with the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, this new program allows doctors at Jupiter Medical Center to write prescriptions for fresh produce to patients who need to follow a healthier diet to coincide with treatment, free of charge. Patients with a Fresh Rx script will receive a weekly bag of produce packed with lettuce, micro greens, and seasonal vegetables, all certified naturally grown in nutrient-rich soil at Lox Farms. A series of farm dinners, featuring local chefs working with Lox Farms produce, will raise funds for the program. On March 2, Michael Hackman of Aioli will present a multicourse meal, featuring highlights such as tamarind-glazed grilled squash and radishes, as well as a pumpkin and tahini sour bread pudding for dessert. Tickets cost $150.
