For our fledgling Hapa Kitchen dinner, we’ll be serving al fresco on a farm! We’re having the farmers from the small upstate farm Apple Pond join us for a five-course hapa-style feast using many different parts of their lamb. We’re proud to be hosted by our friends at Queens County Farm Museum.
Here are the details:
At 7pm, tour the farm with Dick Riseling of Apple Pond Farm and Michael Robertson of QCFM — free and open to the Public. A longtime farmer and renewable energy advocate, Dick Riesling discusses possible implementation of solar, wind, and geothermal systems.
Afterward, taste four canapes and upstate wines beside the maypole and bonfire. Spring garland weaving and more celebration in the spirit of May Days past will ensue.
Dinner begins at 8:30. Set in the farm’s orchard the five-course dinner features local lamb from Apple Pond Farm, local wines provided by New York Wine & Grape Foundation, and very local vegetables from Queens Farm itself.
