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. The Dan Barber operation was once the dairy operation for the Rockefeller family. This extraordinarily beautiful farm practices resilient, transparent, four-season agriculture and partners with Blue Hill, a Manhattan restaurant owned by Dan, David and Laureen Barber, whose family has a long history in the Berkshires. 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. BBG Members $90, Nonmember $100. For more information and to register visit www.berkshirebotanical.org. Travel by passenger van, departing BBG at 8 am.
