SUMMARY:Westerly Land Trust Farm Dinner- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:The Westerly Land Trust 2025 Farm Dinner is now SOLD OUT!\nLast year\, to focus on permanently protecting the 90-acre Champlin Farm Preserve\, we pressed pause on the Farm Dinner. This year\, in celebration of this success and all the work we do to connect our community with local agriculture\, we are bringing back the Farm Dinner concept—celebrating the bounty of the land by dining together al fresco—with some exciting new twists. \nFirst\, this will be a smaller\, more intimate experience held at Barlow Nature Preserve\, which has been our “home base”\, our “hub”\, our “headquarters” since we moved here in 2020. For five years\, we have gotten to know this beautiful landscape\, and helped it grow into a centerpiece of our work\, complete with two vibrant working farms\, Frontier Farm and Echo Rock Flowers\, a farm stand\, and the heart of our youth education program. \nAnd\, rather than dividing the courses among different chefs\, Julian ElFedayni-Connell from Tin Peddler in Stonington and Barbary Coast in Mystic will be curating the entire dinner which is sure to please. \nSo join us for our 2025 Farm Dinner on Saturday\, September 13th beginning at 3:30pm — gather with friends and neighbors out on the land and enjoy a fabulous meal entirely prepared with local ingredients. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the table! \nSpecial Thanks to the 2025 Farm Dinner’s Presenting Sponsor: South County Tourism Council \n \n

With expert guidance from Cail Calder of Westerbee honey\, aka “The Beeman“\, you’ll learn how to diagnose potential issues and make informed decisions to keep your bees thriving. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll: \n\nGet an in-depth look at how to properly open and inspect a beehive\, including safety tips for working with bees;\nLearn how to identify the queen\, brood patterns\, and honey stores\, and how to assess colony health based on these indicators;\nUnderstand how to spot signs of disease\, pests\, or other potential problems within the hive;\nPractice recognizing the symptoms of common issues like mite infestations\, queen failure\, and hive overcrowding;\nGain skills in handling frames and using equipment such as smokers\, hive tools\, and protective gear;\nLearn how to record your findings and track the progress of your colony over time;\nUnderstand when and how to intervene with appropriate actions like mite treatments\, adding new frames\, or expanding the hive.\n\nThis event is second in a 3-part series.
