YEEHAW! Hoedown 2010 is getting close! We hope you plan on coming. It’s going to be a good ole time! We went out to Smolak Farms late last week to do a site visit to get a better lay of the land. It is GORGEOUS and VAST! We will have 3 main areas for attendees to wander through – each with delicious food very close at hand, of course.

Starting at the spacious tent right looking out onto a small lake complete with swans, you’ll be able to try a variety of dishes from our guest chefs:
Jason Bond, Beacon Hill Bistro
Antonio Bettencourt, Sixty2 on Wharf
Alina Eisenhauer, Sweet
Eunice Feller, Bread & Chocolate
Ben Hasty, BrasserieJO
Chris Parsons, Parsons Table
Brian Poe, Poe’s Kitchen at the Rattlesnake

This space also features a stage so you can watch and learn recipes from our talented chefs.

After eating to your heart’s content, you can wander through the animal farm area, where you can see goats, deer, chickens and even an alpaca! This area leads you up to the activity area where the band and a variety of fun games will be stationed (try to dunk some of us into the dunk tank!).

Walking up to the top of the hill is the barn – a fantastically positioned barn which will house a few more kids games, a penny candy store, and the exciting part -  the succulent slow roasting PIG!

After finishing up our tour of the farm, we were ready for a snack. All the talk of food, planning, figuring out what chef is going to be positioned where, and who’s making what – we really needed a snack. Peach ice cream sundae or peach pie. We choose the pie. Always the pie. There is a full ice cream stand should you have the craving. We promise that you will not leave hungry!

We’re not sure yet where we are holding the Hoedown Baking Throwdown but we hope that you plan on bringing your favorite homemade dessert made with seasonal, local produce (peaches, zucchini, etc.) and King Arthur. Winners get great prizes from King Arthur Flour and us. Click here for Hoedown Baking Throwdown info & prize information.

YEEHAW! Did you get your tickets yet? If not, buy them now as this event is sure to fill up fast, y’all!.
