FOODSTOCK 2012

It's time once again for the annual FOODSTOCK Event, hosted by our good friends at WJFF Public Radio. It will be held from 11AM to 3PM on Saturday, May 5th. This is the third year and it promises to be their biggest festival ever with fine food and wine from over 55 vendors of food, wine and craft beer. It will all take place at the fabulous Villa Roma Resort in Callicoon, NY.

Farmers, producers and growers of all kinds will be represented at “FOODSTOCK,” as well as local restaurants, wineries and distributors. Each will offer a representative sample of their product for attendees to taste. All products will be available for purchase. Restaurants will offer a taste of their signature dish.  There will be fresh produce of all kinds, amazing baked goods, homemade jams and preserves, meats and smoked meats and fish, maple products, tantalizing desserts, sausages, sauces and pestos, fudge and cheeses, and an array of locally-produced wines. One of our local Mountaindale producers, Lousia Pabon of the Look Up Cafe and Verde & Co will be on hand with her delicious freshly made Sofrito.

FARMSTOCK 2011...Visit Your Local Farmers

When it comes to food, it is a natural resource we just cannot live without, yet so many of us really have no clue where our food comes from, nor the work involved in getting it onto our plates when it comes to dinner time. The Sullivan County Farm Network, founded in March 2010 hopes to change that reality, is working diligently with those who produce food here in Sullivan County, and those who consume it, the end line users. To that end, they have started a very interesting program called Farmstock, a chance for people to actually visit a working farm, take a tour, get a first hand look at where our food comes from, and meet some of the people who grow it!

So, if you live in Sullivan County, or are visiting Sullivan County, are looking for a wonderful weekend day trip, the Farmstock Experience is one HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Pack up the picnic basket, load the family into the car, and make a day out of visiting the farm. There are different farms to visit every weekend of the summer, with each one a different and unique experience for one and all. Admission to the farms is just $6 for adults, and $4 for children, you cannot ask for a better family bargain, and visiting a farm is truly a Kodak Moment for you and your family.
