Heritage Conservancy Celebrates Bucks County Food with Farm to Table Event

June 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Doylestown, PA, June 22, 2010 --  Heritage Conservancy, the Doylestown, PA based conservation organization, has announced its Second Annual Farm to Table celebration.  The event, which will take place on July 31, 2010 at the Lindsay Farm in Warminster, PA, aims both to allow people to enjoy the delicious local foods of Bucks County and to educate people on the importance of sustainable agriculture. For more than 50 years, Heritage Conservancy has been preserving the natural and historic heritage of Bucks County.  Now, the group hopes to marry the common goals of land preservation and sustainable agriculture.

“This event offers the unique opportunity for guests to enjoy delicious food while also enjoying the beauty of a preserved property,” said Robin Folkerts, Vice President Advancement & Communications for Heritage Conservancy. “With more and more people interested in buying fresh and buying local, this event introduces guests to local farms and connects them to the land where their food is being grown.  Last year’s event was so popular that we look forward to a similar response from the community this year.”

The event boasts a farm-fresh meal, prepared by two acclaimed Bucks County chefs, David Zuckerman and Jamie Hollander. Jamie Hollander, owner of Jamie Hollander Gourmet Foods and Catering, started his company after successfully opening and selling the Knight House in Doylestown.  David Zuckerman, General Manager of Earl’s Bucks County since 2008, has recently re-designed the restaurant’s entire menu to emphasize local foods, even using vegetables from their own garden.

Hors d'oeuvres, followed by a buffet-style meal, will be served in a rustic outdoor setting at the Lindsay Farm.  Families are invited; there will be activities for children.  Tickets are $45 for adults and $15 for children.  Proceeds benefit the Heritage Conservancy.  A special thanks to our sponsor Fulton Bank.
