Food, fun, dancing, more food, more dancing...
Our Farm Dance Gala is only one month away! Glynwood’s large-scale event, a magical night of festivity and philanthropy, unfolds this year on Saturday, September 10.
The centerpiece of the evening is the bounty of food we curate from local producers and purveyors, including a harvest table of amuse-bouches and a sit-down, multi-course meal sourced from local farms. Dine and dance inside a panorama of starry sky, scenic farmland and the rolling Hudson Highlands, and bid for unique auction prizes that showcase this vibrant region we call home. As the evening (sadly) draws to a close, be sure to take home a few complimentary items from our product marketplace.
The best part of all? More than half the price of your Farm Dance Gala ticket is tax-deductible as a donation to support our mission. |
August Farm Dinner
Consume Something Awesome with guest chef Steven Satterfield on Friday, August 19. Our annual CSA Farm Dinner is a vegetarian celebration of local farmers and great-tasting locally grown produce, and there's no better way than with an al fresco meal at the height of the growing season. Satterfield, dubbed “the vegetable shaman” by Sam Sifton of The New York Times, is chef and co-owner of Miller Union in Atlanta, GA. His book Root to Leaf, a cookbook that celebrates the world of fresh produce, makes the most out of the edible parts of plants.
Tickets for August 19 are still available. An essential aspect of our Public Programs, Farm Dinners help us connect our community to our nonprofit work. These festive events introduce great culinary talent to an audience fully invested in seeing our region thrive, and who consider food to be an integral part of that rejuvenation. |
Volunteer Dirt Days
Assist our vegetable team with the necessary maintenance of our crops, while gaining hands-on experience. Anyone and everyone is welcome! Our next volunteer Dirt Day is Sunday, August 21. The subject will be onions! Additional Dirt Days are scheduled for September 25 and October 10. They are on Sundays and start at 1:00pm at our Farm Store/CSA pick-up. For more information, contact Jarret Nelson directly.

Guided Tours take place on the last Saturday of the month (except for this month), originating at 2pm at our Farm Store. The next tour is Saturday, August 27, led by our Vice President of Development, Liz Corio.
Our next Family Farm Tour is Tuesday, August 23, at 3:45pm. Tours are led by children's educator Barbara Sarbin of Something Good in the World, a nonprofit that specializes in farm-based education for school-aged children.
Advance ticket purchase is required for guided tours, which are approximately 1 hour in duration (a little longer with children) and on foot. |
