‘Savor the Flavor’ a Farm Bureau fundraiser Saturday night
NORWICH – The Chenango County Farm Bureau will celebrate all things grown local at a “Savor the Flavor of Chenango” fundraiser from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday at The Artists’ Palette on 6167 State Route 12 in Norwich.
The soiree will feature local cheese, yogurts and wines for sampling; an exhibit and auction of locally-produced art work; and delightful food prepared on site by the executive chef of the Chobani Yogurt Kitchen, Chef Jason.
“It’s a chance to raise funds for the Bureau’s activities, some of which is donated to other non-profits, as well as an opportunity to highlight products produced in Chenango County and the surrounding areas,” said Farm Bureau President Bradd Vickers.
A local guitarist will strum easy-listening music early in the evening. Later, special guest Susan Arbetter of the Albany “Capital Pressroom” and WCNY, will speak and her husband Bill Danielson, a nature writer, will be signing his latest book.
Tickets are available to those 21 years of age and older from The Artists’ Palette (244-1445) or the Chenango County Farm Bureau office (334-6061).
Jill Kraft, owner of the art store and gallery space, said she brainstormed with Vickers on ideas for a benefit for the local Farm Bureau, and suggested something jazzier than the ice cream socials of past years.
“That’s how ‘Savor the Flavor’ was born,” Kraft said. “It’s a representation of Chenango County, whether it’s food or art.”
Zogg Brothers, auctioneers from Cortland, will auction off the artwork at the end of the evening. Over a dozen artists are donating a portion of their profits to the Farm Bureau. There will be stonework, stained glass, painting, photography, woodwork, ceramic and print-making. Vickers is no stranger to the art world. His wife, Rainy Collins-Vickers, creates three-dimensional art work from stained glass and has donated pieces for the auction.
Agro Farma in Chenango County is now the biggest producer of Greek-style yogurt in the U.S. Vickers is excited about Chobani Yogurt’s contribution to the event, “Chef Jason from Chobani is nationally recognized. He’s going to show how to use Chobani Yogurt for cooking with some of our local products. He’s going to actually use some lamb and goat from our area plus local fruits that are currently ripe in the area.”
Black Bear Farm Winery and Magpie Farms Winery will be pouring glasses of meads and wines while Evans Farmstead Creamery will provide tastings of their organic dairy products. Other local food producers will be showing off their stuff at the “Savor the Flavor in Chenango” show on Saturday.
Vickers promises, “It’s going to be a really fun event, lots of options, lots of people to meet. It’s an opportunity in today’s era – when helping local community organizations is becoming more difficult all the time – here’s an opportunity to participate as well.”
