2nd Annual Asparagus Festival at Four Town Farm
Farm Fresh Rhode Island is reprising its newest local food event for a second year on May 4, 2019, in celebration of the beginning of the local growing season. Asparagus Fest will take place at Four Town Farm — located where the four towns of East Providence, Barrington, Seekonk, and Swansea meet.
As the name implies, Asparagus Fest will be a celebration of the deletable springtime treat here in Southern New England, asparagus. Guests will be taken on a special behind-the-scenes farmer-led tour through Four Town Farm’s asparagus fields. On the tour, guests will learn how asparagus is propagated, grown, and maintained on the 150-acre fifth-generation family-run farm — and will be invited to pick a pound of aspargus themselves to bring home!
After the tractor-pulled tour through Four Town Farm’s asparagus fields, guests will return to the gorgeous farm stand for music and refreshments. The Fest will feature local wine & beer, and a wide array of unique asparagus dishes created by an impressive team of chef-instructors from Johnson & Wales University, College of Culinary Arts.
Date: May 04, 2019 2:00 PM-5:00 PM
Location: Four Town Farm | 90 George St, Seekonk
