Editor’s note: The Del Norte 4-H column will appear every four weeks.

Hi, my name is Christine Jones. I and other 4-H members and leaders will be submitting an article every month about what is going on in 4-H.

The first part of this month’s article is kind of a rundown of what 4-H is. The last part deals with Saturday’s annual Soup Supper and Country Auction, the organization’s only countywide fundraiser of the year.

The Food Council was envisioned as part of the Building Healthy Communities initiative of The California Endowment. The need for healthier food options throughout DN&ATL was identified as a high priority during the planning phase and in the logic model presented to The California Endowment. The Food Council represents a big step forward toward a healthier food system. The mission of the Council is to build a vibrant, sustainable local food system.

Just like wine, craft beers full of flavor can be the inspiration for food as evidenced by the emerging popularity of dinners featuring special brews.

After a successful run of winemaker’s dinners earlier this year, the owners of the Historic Requa Inn decided to try a dinner that featured a different local beer paired with each course.

Last Saturday, the dinner featured Asian cuisine and beers from  Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka.
