Eating in Season: Festive Fall Hosting

About this event

The Newton Free Library and Newton Community Farm present a new program on seasonal eating, this time with a focus on late fall produce.

Curious what it means to "eat in season"? Come find out at Newton Community Farm!

Join Harry Pesce, a member of the farm crew at Newton Community Farm, to learn which vegetables are grown in the late fall – and how to turn them into simple, delicious meals.

At this hands-on workshop, held right at the Farm, you'll:

Learn what seasonal eating means and how it changes throughout the year

Sample fresh fall vegetables straight from the farm

Learn to make two easy seasonal recipes that are great for hosting family & friends

Take home a list of library resources to keep eating seasonally all year long

Harry has cooked in kitchens like Woods Hill Table and Forage, and previously managed the award-winning Gracenote Coffee Roasters. He knows good food and the farm – and he's excited to share both with you.

They run a farm stand on Winchester Street that is open through November and attend the Saturday Newton Farmers' Market, which is open through October.
