Flash back to Pitney Farm movie night. Pictured: picked, cleaned, cut and skewered vegetables from Pitney Meadows Community Farm grilled over the open fire by Emily Petersen. Ceviche usingfreshly caught fluke from Moby Rick's Seafood, prepared with local herbs and vegetables by Kim Klopstock. All of the love, hours and effort were worth it to see our guest enjoy the event so much.

Meet Emily Petersen Butcher, Mother, wife, daughter, friend, artist Most of her professional culinary life has been centered around meat. So the vegetable scene has been a distant accompaniment, until this past year. Emily came to us through The Fire Feast last year at Pitney Meadows Community Farm. Since then, we have worked together on several incredible events and projects. The Saratoga Performing Arts Center Wine and Food Festival gala dinner, then a pop-up dinner at Fif...ty south with Chef Kevin London and Chef Dan Spitz as well as being a producer and chef for the Pitney Meadows Community Farm farms drive-in movie nights. Emily not only helped to produce the event, but also picked and processed vegetables for the menu then subsequently had a love affair with Pitney Farms beets. The sweet, blushed flesh of a humble roasted beet. Its pink and white stripes having bled together during the roasting process resembled the flesh of fresh tuna sashimi. She just had to turn it into something wonderful. Using chevre and Maypiary honey shaped to look like sushi rice, topped with the beet flesh and a slice of scallion to finish the piece. A star was born and of course the beet sashimi was delicious. See more

Many thanks to the wonderful volunteers, chefs, farmers and administrators at Pitney Meadows Community Farm for all coming together and producing the drive in movie events. We are so grateful to be able to collaborate with one another and to create such a fun and impactful event.
