Weekend in Photos: Harvest Fest


Sometimes New Yorkers just need to go somewhere with grass and trees. That's what happened this weekend. Jonah and I and our pals headed north of the city for Harvest Fest at the Stone Barns Center. We indulged in roast pork sandwiches, beer, and sweets and spent the day wandering around the grounds, which are filled with greenhouses, beautiful old buildings, gardens and farm animals. The piglets were my favorite. If I had been carrying a bigger bag, I would have snatched one up and brought it home with me. And yes, I realize the irony of saying that after mentioning a delicious pork sandwich.

Gosh, those piglets are adorable! We just went to the fair and I was so disappointed there weren't any pigs. They had judged the pigs the day before and I guess they load them up and take them back to the farm. My favorite part of the fair were the roosters and chickens. There were some gorgeous birds!

I want a sheep. I've been trying to convince my fiance that they're ok to have as backyard pets.

Ooooooh - tell me more about the side dish with your roast pork sandwich? The grains and veggies? That looks so good!

Exactly! Grains with squash and corn. It was so good!

Stone Barns is incredible -- and their pigs are so cute! I wish I had known about this Harvest Fest going on, though between spending part of my weekend in DC and the other part in NYC, I don't think I'd have made it there. So glad you had a wonderful time wandering their grounds.

Looks like you had a great weekend as well! You're so right about us New Yorkers needing to get away from the city and being around trees and grass. It's so easy to get stuck in this little bubble. I'm planning a trip to Beacon ASAP.
