Farm Dinner: Peregrine Farm! Panzanella celebrates the abundance of delicious local food with our series of Farm Dinners. In addition to our full dinner menu, exciting dishes created with ingredients from the featured farm will be served. Our next Farm Dinner is Thursday, July 27, and features Peregrine Farm! Peregrine Farm began 23 years ago as a pick-your-own-berry farm, but quickly evolved into a vegetable farm when Betsy began working full time there in 1983. In 1987 Betsy turned to flower production with "about 100 feet of zinnias and about 25 globe amaranth." More |

 Alex joined the farm full-time in 1990 after running a painting business for 7 years. "It became apparent that we needed a division of labor," says Betsy, and she began to focus on cut flower production as Alex took over most of the vegetable production. Alex currently grows over 20 kinds of vegetables and fruits including heirloom tomatoes, specialty peppers, lettuce, blueberries, collards, leeks, Easter Egg radishes, Brussels sprouts, turnips, beets, cucumbers, carrots, and spinach. This Farm Dinner will feature heirloom tomatoes and specialty peppers.Photos by Debbie Roos, Chatham County Cooperative Extension Agent.

To keep this event a safe and fun place, we ask that you only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs on leashes and please clean up after them. We want the children who attend our event to have a safe and happy time too, so we ask that they not be allowed to climb the trees, including the Crepe Myrtles. Lastly, please enjoy the fountain from its perimeter. Thank you for your help in making this event safe and fun for everyone.

| ChathamArts "Potluck in a Pasture" has Victorian Flair |
 Sunday, July 30, 6-8 pmChathamArts next Potluck in a Pasture invites guests to wear a favorite hat and something white and play croquet while meeting local artists and savoring delicious homemade dishes, all in view of the famous Celebrity goats. The beautiful rural setting is Celebrity Dairy near Siler City, owned by Fleming and Britt Pfann. The occasion celebrates the importance of Chatham County's artists and agriculture. Visitors are asked to bring a potluck dish for eight that includes at least one locally grown ingredient (and the recipe to share stating the origins of its local ingredients), as well as a beverage, a lawn chair or blanket, and a $10 donation to ChathamArts, the non-profit county arts council that supports diverse arts and cultural programs throughout the year. Local food ingredients for potluck contributions may come from your own backyard or neighboring farms. Local Farmers' Markets are at the Chatham County Fairgrounds (Thursdays), Fearrington Village (Tuesdays), Southern Village (Thursdays) and Carrboro (Wednesdays and Saturdays), or from Weaver Street Market in Southern Village and Carrboro, and the new Chatham Marketplace in Pittsboro. Music, art, and a modified wine tasting by Horizon Cellars of Siler City will also be offered. The July supper will support Chatham County teachers who wish to invite an artist for a class workshop or to use an arts project to help teach their curriculum. The potluck series will continue on Sept 17 with a rescheduled Potluck at Perry-winkle Farm. For directions and additional information, visit the ChathamArts website. |
