Mark your calendars for Colchester Farm CSA’s fourth annual fall harvest celebration, featuring food, fun and music for all ages, Saturday October 8, from 5 to 8 p.m. on the farm.
Family fun begins at 5 pm, with a variety of children’s activities. The fall harvest buffet features pulled pork and seasonal dishes incorporating Colchester Farm vegetables prepared by Chef Kevin McKinney of K-B Market and Kitchen School. Beverages include cider, a beer tasting (Lagunitas) and a cash bar featuring local wines. Mickey Justice & Friends will entertain with live music.
One lucky person will win a sunset cruise complete with champagne aboard Elligail Charters, along with five of his or her friends. Raffle tickets for the sail are just $10 and available at Chestertown First Fridays, and at the fall celebration. Only 150 will be sold.
