  • Wednesday, September 26, 7:30 pm – Chefs as Catalyst Connectors in Our Complicated Food World

    Vittorio Ettore (Bistro 5 & A Tavola), Frank McClelland (L’Espalier), Lori Deliso (Kid’s Cooking Green & Dave’s Fresh Pasta) will speak at Wright-Locke Farm on Chefs as Catalyst Connectors in Our Complicated Food World. Join us for a panel discussion with local chefs who have been making strides to reconnect people with the food they eat and the landscapes and people that are behind those meals. What is the role of a chef in this complicated time that we live in? How do they inspire and teach? How are chefs working within our local food systems? Where do the see their greatest impact? These are some of the questions that we’ll be asking our Chef Panel. Make sure to bring your own questions to ask, too!

    The session will be held at 7:30 at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester on Wednesday, September 26 in our beautiful 1827 Barn, and will be followed up with a Q&A session. We will also offer a casual supper before each presentation. For more details, check out our website, http://wlfarm.org, or to RSVP, email Kim Kneeland at kkneeland@wlfarm.org.

  • Thursdays, May 21 – October 29, 11-6 – Prudential Center Farmer’s Market

    Prudential Center owner Boston Properties this week opens a farmers’ market on the building’s cement plaza bordering Boylston Street.  The market, which will run on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., is directly managed by 14 vendors, including six to eight farmers. Vendors who have signed on to the project sell products like Asian greens, mozzarella cheese, chocolates, bread, baked goods, and high-end desserts.  According to The Boston Globe, it has also sparked interest from Legal Seafoods, whose Prudential Center executive chef, Kevin Watson, has committed to buying fresh foods from the market to use in his cooking.  Sel De La Terre will be doing a version of their Boulangerie with salads, sandwiches, bread, pastry and produce from Frank McClelland’s new farm, and L’Espalier has also expressed interest.  Vendors include Bolton Flats Asian Greens, Taza chocolate, When Pigs Fly bread, Stillman meat, Gilson herbs (one of our Garden Club speakers from long ago), and many more who will be added as the season progresses.
