Thurs., May 26, 6 p.m.: Spring Feast is an evening to benefit Queens County Farm, which dates to 1697, and is the city’s largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland. Celebrate New York City’s rich food culture and agricultural heritage with a family-style meal, grown by the farm and prepared by chef Bill Telepan.
The Queens County Farm Museum is the only working historical farm in the city. The farm encompasses a 47-acre parcel. It’s the longest continuously-farmed site in the state. The farm includes historic buildings, a greenhouse complex, heritage livestock, farm vehicles and implements, planting fields, an orchard, and an herb garden.
The farm animals and tranquil agrarian environment provide an opportunity to leave the hectic daily pace of NYC life behind for an enjoyable farm visit, without leaving the city.
The Spring Feast will be served in the Adriance Farmhouse, an landmark dating to 1772. Walk-in fireplaces will be roaring alongside communal tables for this exclusive experience.
Producers and purveyors for the meal include some of New York’s finest, including Angels’ Share Wines, Jimmy’s No. 43, Pura Vida Fishers, Saxelby Cheesemongers, Sullivan Street Bakery, and The Brooklyn Brewery.
