CALLICOON, NY (April 27, 2011) – WJFF 90.5 Radio Catskill in Jeffersonville, NY and Catskill Harvest Market have teamed up to produce “Foodstock,” a festival of fine local foods and wines, on Saturday, May 7 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The event will take place at the Villa Roma Resort’s Tennis Building in Callicoon, New York.

“We’ve assembled over fifty different purveyors from across the region and both sides of the river,” said WJFF Station Manager Winston Clark. “Guests at ‘Foodstock’ will be feasting on an incredible array of local foods and wines.”

Farmers, producers and growers of all kinds will be represented at “Foodstock,” as well as local restaurants, bakeries, wineries and distributors. Each will offer samples of their products for guests to taste, and everything will be available for purchase. Restaurants will be offering a taste of their signature dish.

“There will be fresh produce of all kinds, amazing baked goods, homemade jams and preserves, meats and smoked meats and fish, maple products, incredible desserts, sausages, sauces and pestos, fudge and cheeses, and an array of locally-produced wines,” said Clark.

A video of last year’s “Foodstock,” along with a complete list of vendors for “Foodstock” and directions to the event are available at WJFF’s website, www.wjffradio.org.

“Foodstock” is a benefit for WJFF, a not-for-profit community radio station and NPR affiliate.

Tickets for “Foodstock,” at $20 with wine and $15 without, are available by calling WJFF at 845-482-4141. Advance purchase is recommended to guarantee admission as space is limited. Vendors wishing to participate should call WJFF.
