The New England Farm 2 Fork Project is an eco-gastronomic organization that supports a biodiverse, sustainable food supply, local producers, heritage food-ways and the pleasures that surround the American table and kitchen. Founder, Chef Sebastian Carosi and his band of 'Roving Rural Culinary Visionaries' presents 'a forty mile meal' Friday March 19th thru Sunday March 21st starting at 6pm sharp. This event will be held at Raven Hill Orchard, a MOFGA certified organic apple orchard, located in East Waterboro, Maine. Chef Carosi is working closely with many farmers and producers to raise local food supply awareness and to support sustainable agriculture and economic development throughout our little corner of America...
The New England Farm 2 Fork Project's 'a forty mile meal' dinner will consist of locally made artisan and farmstead cheeses, pastured local lamb, antique (heirloom) apples and many other locally raised products. Our gastronomic goal is to serve the best local, sustainably produced ingredients, and to treat them with respect and simplicity in our cuisine. This means using as much of a products resources as possible, be it the greens from garden grown organic beets, or the livers and gizzards of barnyard chickens. Our deep-rooted regional influences have shaped and continue to shape New England farm cuisine and inspire our cooking and food on a daily basis. Diners are generally served 6-8 courses, in small, manageable portions that allow them to sample the variety of edible commodities available to us in a particular season, from a local source, without relying on imported foods purchased from agri-business conglomerates...
