Come celebrate October and the harvest season with Slow Food East End at Jamesport Farmstead for an afternoon of BBQ, live music, a farm tour, sauerkraut making, and much more!
Meet the farmers, enjoy a farm tour and hear more about their no-till, no-pesticide, no-herbicide practices and learn how you too can honor your home gardens with their techniques.
Enjoy a hearty lunch catered by Maple Tree BBQ, the East End’s go-to favorite for authentic wood-fired smoked BBQ. The menu includes Smoked Bratwursts on Buns, Sauer Krat, Corn on the Cob, Potato Salad, Carrot Ginger Soup, Lemonade, and Apple Cider.
Macari Vineyard will be pouring a selection of their wines farmed on family-owned land that has been farming without herbicides using homemade compost and biodynamic principles which give their terroir a delicious edge. Or opt for North Fork Brewing Company, a farm-based brewery that grows its own hops and uses local produce to flavor its beers which will also be available for purchase.
In the barn will be local Chef Peter Berley, a James Beard award-winning author and fermentation expert who will show us how to enjoy the fall harvest by making his DELICIOUS sauerkraut recipe using old fashion tools. Bring your fermentation and culinary questions for Chef Peter to answer and take a turn helping us process the kraut which will be fermented in a Macari wine barrel.
Live Music: Popular Long Island musicians, Maria Fairchild and Adam Becherer play music from bygone times when life moved at a slower pace and entertainment was homegrown. Enjoy traditional tunes from rural America and Ireland with fiddle, banjo, guitar, and mandolin.
In addition, Sweet Woodland Farms will be on site offering some of their local harvest for sale!
Saturday, October 22, 2:00 – 5:00pm (Rain date Sunday, October 23) at Jamesport Farmstead, 1146 Main Road, Jamesport (corner of Tuthills Lane)
