Local farmer-chefs Austin Genke, Sam Genke, and Chris McKinley are back in the new year serving up small plates built from the flavors of their farm in Cedar Grove.  This event will now be on first Fridays of every month.  As always, $6/plate, or $25 for all five, and 3CUPS has a tasty selection of wines by the glass paired to each savory dish. This month's menu:

• black bean soup with cilantro pesto, creme fraiche
