You are invited to another Beaverdam SlowDown, hosted by the Roots Farm. Come join us for a gastronomic adventure celebrating local food right at the source. Enjoy the opportunity to relax on our serene 13 acre farm located just outside of Athens, GA. Sit back and enjoy a gourmet meal prepared by local chefs from local ingredients. Experience the place where your food comes from; meet the farmers who grew the food you are eating.
This meal is about connection…the connection between food and place…the connection between farms and food…a connection between yourself and the people who grow your food…and the connection of a community of like minded people sharing a memorable evening together.
WHEN: Fall 2010 dates coming soon.
WHAT: A sumptuous five course meal served over a leisurely two hours filled with: a short farm tour where you can see where your dinner came from, discussions of local food and farming issues, great opportunities to learn more about sustainable farming, and slow foods from local practitioners.
The food for your vegetarian meal will be sourced almost exclusively from the fields of the Roots Farm as well as other local farms. Due the seasonal nature of this event, it is not possible to say exactly what will be on the menu for your SlowDown experience. Expect a tasty mixture of seasonal produce.
WHERE: The Beaverdam SlowDown is hosted by us here at the Roots Farm, an organic farm and educational center located in Winterville. We operate a year-round organic farming operation based on our Community Supported Agriculture subscription program. See the rest of our site for more details about our farm.
