North Fork Foodie Tour 2013
The North Fork of Long Island is famous for delectable fare. Think Peconic Bay scallops and Long Island duck, strawberries, potatoes and wine country. The tradition
of farming has continued and expanded. Now its taken on yet
another life as artisans have begun to produce distinctive foods and explore methods of sustainable agriculture.
On Sunday, September 8, 10 a.m. 4 p.m., the North Fork Reform Synagogue gives you a chance to meet the extraordinary people who have dedicated their lives to
producing unique local foods and wines and learn how they do it.
If you have already purchased your tickets, pick up a map of tour locations and information on times of special events anytime after 9 a.m. at Peconic Land Trusts Agricultural Center at Charnews Farm, Youngs Avenue between Rts. 25 and 48. Then you're off on your own personal do-as-you please foodie tour.
