Where are we going? Three places: A Hardwick Beef farm to say hello to some cows; to Stillman’s farm to get a look at chickens and pigs; and to the People’s Pint to have some local eats. See the route on this Google map!
When? Sunday May 3 from roughly 9 to 6:30
Why? Because it’s important to have a connection to the food you eat. Because animals should be respected and admired. And because it would be fun to bring approximately 30 city folk west of Worcester in two large, anonymous vans.
How do I join you? CLICK HERE! It will bring you to PayPal. You can pay with any major credit (or your paypal account) there. We’re asking for $35 from everyone — in advance.
Why 35 bucks? Why in advance? Your donation will cover the cost of renting the van, the cost of paying an experienced bus driver for said van and the cost of gas. PS — You will also have to cover your own meal at the Pint. But it’s very affordable. Take a look at their menu.
What else do I need to do? Sign up fast! Email me with any questions. AND bring some snacks or a bagged lunch. It will be a long day of traveling before we get to the Pint and we don’t want any crankypusses.
