This summer, Dooryard Farm invites the community to gather around and celebrate the flavors of the season with At the Dooryard Table, a new series of cooking demonstrations, tastings and conversation. Each session will feature fresh produce right off the farm as well as agricultural products from Dooryard’s community of local food makers.
Held every other Saturday in July and August at Dooryard Farm’s farmstand at 238 Mechanic Street in Camden, the series will be hosted by longtime food educator, cook, and writer Frank Mentesana. Each session explores a different moment in the growing season, offering practical cooking ideas, stories from local producers, and tastings inspired by the week’s harvest.
“We want these gatherings to be an invitation to gather around the table and share ideas,” says Marina Sideris, Dooryard’s co-owner. “The focus is on simple techniques, seasonal ingredients, and the joy of connecting with people over food.”
Each event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m..
