Edgewood LifeCare Community, the award-winning, non-profit senior living community in North Andover, will hold a farm to table community event entitled “Delicious by Design” on Thursday, July 23, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at the Edgewood Patio, 575 Osgood Street, North Andover. There is no cost to attend.
Join the Edgewood community as they share their bounty in a fun, educational and interactive Farm to Table event. Attendees may indulge in freshly prepared dishes created by Edgewood’s culinary department, and learn how to cook simple, light and nutritious meals using fresh ingredients from locally sourced farms.
Edgewood obtains fresh produce from two different local farms for the summer – Herb Hill Micro-Dairy Farm in Andover and Simone’s Riverside Farm (a family-run farm with three generations of farmers) in Methuen. Valley View Farm in Topsfield provides fresh goat cheese and award winning ice cream comes from Richardson’s Farm in Middleton.
Farm to Table – a Way of Life at Edgewood
During the spring and summer, Edgewood offers their residents a true farm to table experience every day, using locally sourced ingredients from North Andover and surrounding areas, honey from their beehives, maple syrup tapped from their own maple trees, fresh herbs from their own herbaceous border, and wine that they bottle. They get fresh seafood from Gloucester and Boston and (occasionally) locally sourced pork and chicken. And, they’re always smoking – pork, salmon and brisket – on a regular basis. The culinary experience at Edgewood offers something for every resident’s palate, along with dining choices of two restaurants, private dining and a take-out option.
Seating is limited at the Farm to Table event and a reservation is required. To reserve a seat, RSVP to (978) 208-4230 or online at the Delicious By Design event page, www.edgewoodrc.com.
