Carlisle Area Local Producer Tour & Lunch
The Carlisle & Newville areas have exploded with local producers selling fresh organic vegetables, free-range chickens and eggs, artisan cheese and handmade crafts. The area also boasts two vibrant farmers markets. Food writer and Slow Food Harrisburg member Kay Graham has put together a great program.
At 9am assemble at Piatto, 22 West Pomfret Street, for coffee and pastries. The group will tour the two Carlisle Farms Markets, then carpool to explore the local farm stands, including Otterbein Farms. Kay will distribute a map to help with navigation.
The group will return to Piatto’s garden for lunch. Either bring a dish to share made with local ingredients or sample some dishes made specially for us by Piatto and California Cafe. Then around 4pm, the garden hosts a free concert, the Gabjo Playboys specializing in Parisian-style jazz.
