Let’s Eat Beets at the Farm 2 Fork Festival
Posted on September 1st, 2010 4 comments Add a comment >>
What do you do with beets? They always look beautiful on the farmer’s table – gorgeous deep red globes with glossy big leaves. It turns out that a lot of folks enjoy them only for their visual beauty but have no idea how delicious they can be. Too bad, because they are a stellar vegetable for our northern climate. They love cool weather and they can be grown pretty much all season long, with the bonus of a very long storage period (for the root portion) in root celler or refrigerator.
Come on over to the First Annual Farm 2 Fork Festival in Saranac Lake and find out what do with beets and other locally-grown veggies (including the mysterious Kolhrabi!). The festival will be held in conjunction with the weekly farmers’ market in Riverside Park on Saturday, September 4th from 9 am to 2 pm. Lots of details at the Farm 2 Fork website.
The Festival is being organized by the Adirondack Green Circle. In addition to cooking demonstrations and food tastings, the Circle is going to operate the Locavore Grill, featuring local lamb sausage and pulled pork sandwiches on locally-made rolls, as well as a special coleslaw and potato chips made from locally-grown ingredients. Lots more happening at the park – see the website for the most up-to-date schedule of events.
