![]() On Sunday June 14, we joined many of North Carolina's most acclaimed chefs and a group of incredible Piedmont farmers to cook a picnic-style dinner at W.C. Breeze Family Farm, a 270 acre educational farm devoted to sustainable agriculture just a few miles north of Hillsborough. All proceeds from the evening will help grow new farms by supporting farmer apprentice programs across North Carolina. Over 70 restaurants, artisans and farmers worked together to prepare an all-you-can eat feast celebrating the bounty and diversity of our region, including the season’s first field-ripened tomatoes; heritage pasture-raised pork including whole hog BBQ, Tuscan-style porchetta and carnitas; a North Carolina shrimp boil; a tasting tent filled with handmade craft food, including farmstead cheese, pickles, preserves, breads and cured meat; Monterrey-style cabrito with homemade tortillas from old-variety corn last grown in the Carolinas in the 1940's; all-local sno cones, spit-roasted lamb, herb sorbets hand-churned by the teen gardeners from SEEDS; grilled pizzas and flatbreads made with vegetables grown in the field next door; and the last strawberries of the year. This family friendly evening also featured activities for the kids including sack races, a honey-bee demonstration, goats, rabbits and chickens; and of course a tour of the Breeze Farm. |
