Project Farmhouse State of Seafood Dinner

June 26, 2017

On June 15th, GrowNYC's Project Farmhouse hosted the first in our Chef Seasonal Dinner Series. It was a seafood soiree, beginning with a double book reading by sustainable fisheries expert and New York Times bestselling author, Paul Greenberg (who read from American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood), and Stephanie Villani, co-owner of Blue Moon Fish, a family operation that catches wild, local fish off the coast of Mattituck, on the North Fork of Long Island, who read an excerpt from her forthcoming cookbook, The Fisherman’s Wife.

This thoroughly informative and entertaining conversation with Paul and Stephanie was later followed by a four-course seated dinner featuring local seafood and shellfish prepared by Bill Telepan of Oceana, Howard Kalachnikoff of Gramercy Tavern, Melissa Rodriguez of Del Posto, Kerry Heffernan of Grand Banks, and Ron Paprocki of Gotham Bar and Grill.

In short, it was epic – as illustrated in this slideshow.

Look out for more info on our next dinner in the series!

GrowNYC's Response to the US' Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord

Now what? We keep on moving forward.

Why bother? Because each person’s actions, decisions and behavior still matter.

Is this it? Not yet.

People are fired up, mobilized, taking action.

Here at GrowNYC we continue to be astounded by the power of the people who take action to stop climate change and make a difference for all of us.

We see it in the faces of NYC community gardeners, in the joyful first harvest of our youngest school gardeners, in the sweat and determination of regional farmers.

The friendly smiles at Greenmarkets, Youthmarkets and Fresh Food Box sites.

The people who ride their bikes to drop off food scraps.

We see it in you.

We stand together – all of us.
