Michelle Obama will host diplomat spouses to a luncheon at an organic, sustainable, non-profit, educational farm. The First Lady will give the spouses a tour at Stone Barns Center, then take them to the Blue Hill restaurant for lunch.
Once featured on Top Chef, Stone Barns Center in Tarrytown, New York, provides education experiences and tours in organic farming. Programs are geared for both adults and children. The After School Programs, for example, are designed to get children to the farm on a weekly basis. On the agenda for some of the upcoming after school programs include learning about herbs, harvesting vegetables and seasonal cooking.
Later this year, Stone Barns Center will feature its Young Farmer’s Conference, aimed at new farmers, that will provide panel discussions, workshops and more.
For pure fun, the Harvest Fest 2010 will occur in October, featuring live music, hayrides and food from local farmers.
According to its website, Stone Barns Center’s mission is to utilize its 80 acre farm to accomplish the following:
* Increase public awareness of healthy, seasonal and sustainable food.
* Train farmers in resilient, restorative farming techniques.
* Educate children about the sources of their food, and prepare them to steward the land that provides it.
