    A special field trip has been planned by the Berkshire Botanical Garden on Thursday, May 25. Visit farm-to-table restaurant and farm Stone Barns Center in Pocantico Hills, NY.

This 90-minute walking tour is led by knowledgeable farm staff and provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of the farm. Participants will walk through the greenhouse and growing fields, and meet the animals raised on the farm to learn about the Center’s methods of raising livestock and growing vegetables sustainably. Learn why we believe that good food, grown well, can change our food system. Participants will learn about the Center’s methods of raising livestock and growing vegetables sustainably.  Following the tour, savor the bounty of the harvest with a “Taste of Stone Barns” lunch.
