3rd Annual Fall Picnic and Harvest Festival

When: Sunday, October 7th 4-7pm
Location: Harn Homestead - 1721 N Lincoln Blvd (new entrance on Lincoln)
(map available at www.slowfoodokc.com <http://www.slowfoodokc.com/> )

 

Reserve your spot today!

The Slow Food Fall Picnic is a truly unique celebration of the Slow Food
traditions. The picnic promises to be an incredible celebration of
Oklahoma's food traditions as well as a great place to enjoy friends,
family and fellow Slow Fooders and people who care about eating well and
local!  Last year we had almost 300 guests in attendance - and would
expect a similar number to attend this year.

 

The Fall Picnic will be held on the gorgeous 9-acre grounds of the Harn
Homestead. 

 

Food will be prepared by some of the top Oklahoma chefs using the finest
local ingredients including chefs Cally Johnson of Boulevard Steakhouse,
Mackenzie Bentley of The Coach House, Kamala Gamble of Kam's Kookery,
Chef Ian Wagner and Pastry Chef Travis Ayers.   The menu will be sure to
be delicious and will be a gourmet twist on traditional picnic concepts.
Krebs Brewery has graciously offered to provide Choc Beer and we will
also serve artisan wines selected by Corey Bauer of Republic Beverages
as well as water and other refreshments.

 

We have a full slate of Oklahoma food producers who will be available to
speak with our guests about the foods they produce including: NoName
Ranch, Wichita Buffalo, Cattle Tracks, Horn Family Farm, PD&H Farms,
Wagon Creek Creamery and others as well as representatives from
community organizations such as Oklahoma Food Coop, Sustainable OKC,
Oklahoma Farm to School and YWCA McFarland Youth Gardens.   Guests will
be able to chat with producers as well as hear presentations about their
operations.   We will also be on hand to speak with guests about the
benefits of joining Slow Food OKC - including upcoming "members only"
events. 

 

There will be live music by Buck Goucher and outdoor seating under the
trees on the grounds of this original homestead. We will host old
fashioned picnic activities for families such as croquet, horseshoes and
sack races.  For the little ones we will have a petting zoo, pony rides,
a barrel train and face painting.  Local artist and Slow Food member,
Elia Woods, will be displaying her wonderful "Vegetable Prayer" art
works and will lead the children in crafts from the Play with Your Food
book series.  

 

We promise something for everyone and hope to have perfect weather like
we had last year, so come and bring friends and family!

 

Tickets are $25 per person - all inclusive - if purchased by October 1st
(or $30/person if purchased after that date) - check or paypal in
advance. We ask you to please reserve early - we try to offer as much
locally produced food as possible, which means we can't just run over to
the store to buy the picnic foods.  Children 12 and under are free.
