Next up from the [1] New England Farm 2 Fork Project!

The New England Farm 2 Fork Project’s Twenty  Mile Meal
Saturday July 17th, 6pm
Sunday July 18th, 6pm
Raven Hill Orchard

Dinner will consist of locally made artisan & farmstead cheeses, pastured local lamb, antique (heirloom) apples and many other locally raised products. Our gastronomic goal is to serve the best local, sustainably produced ingredients, and to treat them with respect and simplicity in our cuisine. This means using as much of a products resources as possible, be it the greens from garden grown organic beets, or the livers and gizzards of barnyard chickens. Our deep-rooted regional influences have shaped and continue to shape New England farm cuisine and inspire our cooking and food on a daily basis. Diners are generally served 5-8 courses, in small, manageable portions that allow them to sample the variety of edible commodities available to us in a particular season, from a local source, without relying on imported foods purchased from agri-business conglomerates.

The seasonal cheeses, fruits, vegetables, milk, meat and other foods we procure locally and at the farmers market for our ‘a twenty mile meal’, along with the conviviality of seeing our local farmer twice a week, have been the truest source of inspiration in our kitchen and cuisine. As a Chef, Sebastian believes that we have a vital responsibility to be part of an overall solution. Reuniting the local beekeeper, artisan cheese maker, herdsmen, cattle rancher, lobsterman, fisherman, clam-digger, organic grower and dairy farmer to the dining public is a mandatory necessity that must not be overlooked. The New England Farm 2 Fork Project, Chef Sebastian Carosi and his band of roving rural culinary visionaries are cultivating a more conscientious food culture within our little corner of the country….

The evening’s menu will feature:

Smashed Maine grown heirloom white beans on fried peasant bread with pickled cucumber and ham powder…
