Quail Hill Farm Events
The Farm Breakfast: Saturday June 26, 2010
You know that summer has arrived when the time rolls around for the annual Farm Breakfast at Quail Hill. Over 300 farm members meet, greet, and mingle in early June at the Apple Orchard for a delicious meal of herbed scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, blueberry pancakes with strawberry rhubarb compote, stewed onions, and a wonderful assortment of baked goods. For more information, please email to: events@peconiclandtrust.org.
This event is open to the public.
At the Common Table Dinner
In late August, join 150 friends and neighbors as they gather at the apple orchard of Quail Hill for our annual At the Common Table family style dinner to support the farms on-going activities. Local chefs prepare a sumptuous feast using farm produce and local meat, fish and shellfish; with wines provided by local vineyards. This is a magical experience for a late summer evening. For more information, please email to: events@peconiclandtrust.org.
The Tomato Taste-Off
The Quail Hill Farm Great Tomato Taste-Off has quickly become a mainstay event for the East End. Each year, the farm organically grows somewhere in the range of 45 to 50 varieties of cherry, paste and heirloom tomatoes of all shapes, sizes and colors – including red, pink, orange, yellow, purple, and green. The typical hot sunny days and occasional rainfall here on the East End help fulfill the promise of an outstanding crop from year to year. With pen and clipboard in hand, “tasters” taste and rate the tomatoes – with cubes of country bread and designer water to cleanse the palate between bites.
Autumn Harvest Dinner
What better way to celebrate the fall bounty of vegetables than a special evening at a local restaurant. Information on the Autumn Harvest Dinner will be available later in the year. Make sure to check back!
And be sure to check out Connections calendar for upcoming educational and recreational programs held at Quail Hill Farm as well as other conserved properties throughout the East End.
Quail Hill Farm also participates in the Sag Harbor Farmers Market.
