Windy Hill Farm, Great Barrington 413-298-3217

Monday September 21st for the Harvest Supper

 

  "On Sunday, July 12, supporters of Berkshire Grown, which champions local agriculture, farmers and locally grown food, gathered in the shaded garden of Hester Velmans and Peter Cherneff, where tables were set with a banquet's worth of food (catered by private chef Jamie Paxton), all sourced from area farms, as well as other items contributed by local restaurants. As the grazing part of the event wound down, guests moved to the barn for the second part of the fundraiser, a talk by guest of honor Ruth Reichl, award-winning food writer, former New York Times food critic and best-selling author. Cheesemonger Matt Rubiner served as moderator and the two food experts talked about food trends (past, present and future) and other delicious subjects.  More on Rural Intelligence.

Reichl talked about her friendship with Alice Waters, dating back to the '70s in Berkeley with the culinary revolution; why she has chosen to live in nearby Columbia County; and her advocacy for the local food movement. Reichl is an enthusiastic supporter of Berkshire Grown...." More on Berkshire Food and Travel.
