To Your Mouth! Cayuga Pure Organics and Farmer Ground Flour at Brooklyn Kitchen
Sunday, February 19th
4 p.m.
Free! Register here. 
Join Brooklyn Kitchen for another of their To Your Mouth! series where they invite the producers of the great products sold in the Brooklyn Kitchen to speak and teach about how their product makes it from field to mouth. 

In this edition they'll welcome two Greenmarket farmers from Cayuga Pure Organics and Farmer Ground Flour: 

Thor Oechsner and Erick Smith. On 600 acres, Thor grows wheat, rye, corn (which becomes polenta), emmer (known as farro in Italy) and other grains. He’ll speak about what it takes to get these products to grow, and how they come to market. Erick founded Cayuga Pure Organics in 2003 and is a bean and grain grower. 

Please come and learn about their work to bring us the best grains and beans and how these products get to your mouth!
