Catskill Harvest Market Presents The Slow Food Fair to Benefit Local Organizations
September 14, 2011 by The Catskill Chronicle
LIBERTY, NY (September 14, 2011) – On Saturday, September 17, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Liberty-based Catskill Harvest Gourmet Market & Garden Center will host “The Slow Food Fair,” an event aimed toward educating the community on the benefits of eating local, organic food and ways to incorporate this food into everyday living.
The event benefits Slow Food Upper Delaware River Valley (UpDeRiVa) and Catskill Mountainkeeper.
The Slow Food Fair’s showcase activity focuses on discovering and tasting what kinds of food comprise a full-course “Slow Food” meal. Guests will visit a series of food stations set up throughout the Catskill Harvest Garden Center. Each food station highlights a different course of a “Slow Food” meal.
As a way to spotlight Sullivan County food suppliers, each course will be provided by a local business whose business philosophy and food products uphold the “Slow Food” approach to living and eating.
The “Slow Food Fair” meal features: a main course from Chef Marcus Guiliano of Aroma Thyme Bistro, Ellenville; a side dish/salad from Neversink Farm, Claryville; bread from Flour Power Bakery, Livingston Manor; dessert from Early Bird Cookery, Callicoon.
Guests will also enjoy live entertainment by the Tessera String Quartet.
"From music and local, sustainable food to community groups and the arts, we’ve got it all right here in the Catskills," says Emily Deans, Catskill Mountainkeeper’s Agricultural Coordinator. "This is about keeping it in the Catskills and celebrating our community, our people and all we produce."
Catskill Harvest created “The Slow Food Fair” to educate the public about: Slow Food UpDeRiVa and Catskill Mountainkeeper. The event is part of the “Neighbors First” program, launched at the beginning of 2011 to create awareness-education programs and to give back to Sullivan County.
Earlier this year, Catskill Harvest’s first “Neighbors First” promotion, Pie-of-July, resulted in a $620 donation to the CACHE Food Bank.
Catskill Harvest (and “The Slow Food Fair”) is an official sponsor of the NY Locavore Challenge.
