Farm to Table Events in 2015

A Farm to Table meal at Stone Coop Farm transforms the bounty of the farm into a beautiful, thoughtfully prepared meal. The menu is decided by what is fresh and gorgeous in the field and will include meat from local farms. A tentative menu will be published one week before the meal. Meals are served in a historic barn on the property and are limited to 30 guests. A Farm to Table meal is more than just a dinner out, it's really an experience of connecting to the land and the people who grow our food. We hope you join us!

Rooster naming contest!

When we received our batch of hens last year, we got a surprise rooster. His breed is a black Australorp. He's a calm, easy-going rooster, polite to the hens and us farmers. He and our other rooster, Muttons, get along well (most of the time), hence why we have kept him to watch over the flock. However, this guy needs a name. So, we're opening a contest to name this handsome fellow. 

Comment on this post or send us an email with your name entry. Make sure your name is present in your comment or email and that the email subject line refers to the contest. One entry per person. The contest closes at 12am on April 1st. At that point, Joannee and I will judge the entries and decide on a winner by April 2nd. The winner will receive a dozen eggs and a bag of greens, as well as an opportunity to have a picture taken with the rooster that will then be posted on Facebook and our website.

So, let's hear some fun, creative names!

Stone Coop hosts farm to table luncheon with The Wooden Spoon

In February, The Wooden Spoon head chef, Steve Pilon, ventured to Stone Coop to cook up a farm to table lunch. Even in the dead of winter, there were plenty of fresh greens to be had from the farm, grown in unheated hoop houses. Check out the video of the special event produced by FlexTech student, Scott Mixer:
