ChathamArts’ “Potluck in a Pasture†is a chance to enjoy locally grown food, visit a sustainable farm and meet several artists, Sunday Sept. 14 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Castle Rock Gardens. The farm is located at 3232 Castle Rock Road in north Chatham, west of N.C. 87 between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill. Visitors are asked to bring a pot-luck dish that includes at least one locally grown ingredient (and the recipe to share, noting the origin of local items), as well as a beverage, lawn chair or blanket, and a donation to ChathamArts. For information see www.chathamarts.org. or call 219-9840.
The second and final potluck of the season features: Travis Cohn, a “reptire†artist who creates reptilian forms and furnishings from retired rubber; Gwen Higgins, a potter, jeweler and culinary artist; Ramona Leftwich, a dancer specializing in African traditions; writer Tim McKee, managing editor of The Sun magazine and author of No More Strangers Now: Young Voices from a New South Africa; and bluegrass musicians Doug and Stacey Stuart.
Castle Rock Gardens, owned and operated by Ristin Cooks and Patrick Walsh, offers a variety of heirloom vegetables and fruit, shitake mushrooms, heritage chickens, dairy goats and honeybees.
Ingredients for your pot-luck dish may come from your own garden, neighboring farms or from local farmers’ markets.
