On a clear day you can see all the way to Danbury. The Brothers Patrick and Quincy work hard to grow things the right way. Organic farming means growing without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, or any other synthetic substance. The only fertilizers they use are natural: composted cow manure, sea kelp, and "green manures" like clover, vetch and rye grass. Healthy soil means fresh produce loaded with vitamins and minerals, from land that can continue producing. For the skilled chefs at Caesus, this will be their third OITF/Waldingfield appearance.The HickoriesWednesday, September 13, 2017 @ 3PM$235Tickets on sale March 20th at 11:00am PST | 2:00pm ESTHost Farmer: Dina Brewster, The Hickories, Ridgefield, CTGuest Chef: Tyler Anderson, Millwright's, Simsbury, CTDina’s new trout pond is complete and stocked with fish.
