Green Market Dinner at the Barn: A Conversation with Jill Isenbarger and Jack Algiere of Stones Barns Center for Food & Agriculture

Well into the twentieth century, Greenwich was known for growing everything from oysters to onions. Is local farming still important? Join Jill Isenbarger, Executive Director of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture and Jack Algiere, “Four-Season” Farm manager, as they explain why growing food close to home is essential for our own health as well as that of the environment.  A delicious Green Market Dinner will follow in the Barn featuring a three-course dinner with wine by our own homegrown chef Jeff Pandolfino (Plum Pure Foods.)

Stone Barns educates the public about farm-to-table connections by simultaneously serving as a farm, kitchen, education center and “laboratory. ” Stone Barns also sources the famous on-premises Blue Hill Restaurant, which “showcases the farmers’ year-round activities by bringing the field to the plate.”
