As the local food movement burgeons in Dane County, synergy has taken hold in a really good way. Creative and entrepreneurial advances seem to elicit even more enterprise. A new, locally sourced frozen dinner debuting Friday at Metcalfe’s supermarket is Exhibit A in this connectivity.
Master pasta maker Peter Robertson, who’s been selling his fresh RP’s Pasta for 14 years and operating the Fork & Spoon Cafe for two years, is going into the frozen-meal business. He’s collaborating with Mark Olson of Renaissance Farm in Spring Green, the pesto-maker and herb-infused olive oil mainstay of the Saturday Dane County Farmer’s Market. To start, under their own labels, they’ll make seven frozen meals for $8 and under.
