  • Saturday, August 6, 10:00 am – Southeastern Massachusetts Food & Wine Tour

    Join Slow Food Boston on Saturday, August 10, beginning at 10 am,  for the opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy some of the beautiful farmland and vineyards of Southeastern Massachusetts.

    You will meet your guides at Bay End Farm in Buzzards Bay, which was founded in 1906 and has been providing produce to families, farmers markets and restaurants around Boston and Cape Cod for several years. At Bay End, we will partake in a farm tour and walk while learning about organic farming and CSA’s. Before you leave you will enjoy a lunch (a sandwich packed with plenty local goodness).

    After you depart Bay End, you head for Great Hill Dairy in Marion, known for their unique blue cheese, made by using traditional techniques.  You will hear from the cheese makers themselves as well as tour their facility. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Slow Food event without eating…so you will get the chance to sample some cheese!

    The Grand Finale of the tour is a visit to Westport Rivers Vineyard which is owned and operated by the Russell family. They are known for their sparkling wines and white varietals. Here you will partake in a wine tasting.

    Upon registration, driving directions will be sent to you. They encourage people to carpool and therefore, if you wish to be connected with other participants with whom to share a ride, let Slow Food know!  The cost is a modest $25, and you may reserve online at www.slowfoodboston.com.

  • Monday, August 31, 3 pm – One Long Table

    On Monday, August 31, come to a fabulous collaboration between Bay End Farm in Buzzards Bay and The Blue Room in Cambridge.  Know your roots!  Go back to the “farm to table” movement – the Bay End Farm is putting one long table back in the middle of the farm.  Join them amidst the beautiful farm of organic vegetables.  You will be sitting anywhere from just a few feet to a few miles from where your dinner will be sourced and only yards from where it will be prepared.  The hosts will be setting up the table out in the field and under the sun on a gorgeous late afternoon to feast on what the earth has offered. A farm tour begins at 3 pm, and the four course menu paired with organic wines dinner begins at 4.  Cost is $75 per person ($65 if a Bay End Farm CSA member), and please note this is a bring your own plate event.  The Blue Room chef Jorge Lopes will present his best work, and all proceeds from the dinner will facilitate Bay End Farm’s efforts to build their farm stand kitchen.
