Pitney Meadows Community Farm’s Fire Feast on Aug. 1

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Pitney Meadows Community Farm’s signature event Fire Feast returns for 2023. Named one of Saratoga’s most unique summer events, Fire Feast features an all-star team of renowned farm-to-table chefs cooking over 6 open-fire pits sourcing meats, vegetables, and other ingredients from local producers and from the Pitney Meadows’ Farm fields.

The event takes place 6 – 9 p.m. Aug. 1 at Pitney Meadows Community Farm, 223 West Ave. 

Pitney Meadows Community Farm was founded as a non-profit in 2016 after the 166-acre farmland was protected in perpetuity as conserved agricultural lands. In 2022 alone, the Farm welcomed over 6,000 visitors and community members; donated 8,743 pounds of produce; supported over 100 community gardeners; hosted 162 educational programs; added a full-time staff member to lead the food sovereignty program; and collaborated with more than 20 community organizations. These incredible accomplishments were made by a small working board and staff all while simultaneously reinvigorating the fields for organic farming and operating a 100 member Pick Your Own CSA; and made possible by grants and hundreds of generous community members who share a vision of food justice, agricultural education, recreation, and community.

Fire Feast: Guests will watch as the chefs prepare a seasonally inspired and carefully curated meal over open fire pits, meander through the Community Gardens while enjoying hors d’oeuvres, and enjoy horse-drawn wagon tours of the trails while taking in the sights of the Farmscape at dusk.
