I’ve written a couple times about Sandy and Pat’s niece, who graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and went into farming in a serious way. My most recent post is here.
On Saturday, Sandy and Pat went to Letterbox Farm in Hudson, New York, to see their niece and enjoy a magnificent farm-to-table spread.
The original invitation said, “The meal is in motion. Meats from the farm are curing in Ko’s kitchen. Our beekeeper is spinning honey from the combs, and the blue corn is waiting at the mill. Will you join us in the fields for an incredible feast?
“The culinary team at Momofuku Ko joins the Letterbox farmers to host a celebratory evening of dinner and drinks.
“The night begins with farm-made sodas and cocktails in the garden, complete with bar snacks and live music. In our silent auction, guests can bid for offerings from bee hive installations to garden consultations or a night on the town, provided by farmers and friends. Before dusk arrives, we will move to the hillsides for dinner and sunset views of the Catskill Mountains.
“All proceeds from this event go to support the farm as it puts down permanent roots on new land.”
I wish I could show you all the wonderful photos of the event I just received, but I think you’ll enjoy this sampling. Note the roasted beets on greens and the elegant pork, marinated for two weeks in a marinade featuring sumac.
