Bring the children, blanket, and picnic basket. Join us on June 11th for an afternoon of family fun + education! No charge for children under 12.

Join Slow Food East End for a late spring picnic on the grounds of Biophilia Organic Farm.

The “Know Your Farmer” educational series continues with Abra Moraweic, owner of Feisty Acres Farm. In the fall of 2015, Abra launched “Feisty Acres” upon realizing there was a niche to fill with her certified organic, pasture raised game birds. She now sells meat and eggs to local stores and restaurants and has spearheaded the Feisty Acres Bobwhite Quail Release Project with the intention re-invigorating native quail populations. Abra will lead a tour after the meal and give a brief talk about the farm, her CSA and non – profit Quail Release Program.
