Summer 2011 - Sustainable Sunday Supper

First, we sat beneath the trees of the beautiful Cox Reservation in the Essex County Greenbelt, enjoying a springtime feast of a heritage pig and local beers at the inaugural "Pig & Brew." Now, the women of Chive are holding the second Sustainable Sunday Supper... seaside at Seine Field, another ECGA property. For the summertime dinner, we’ll listen to the waves crash as we dine on fish caught by the ladies themselves. They’ll risk it all in hopes of hooking the perfect catch for their community of friends. They will take to the seas in a boat captained by a close friend, Rob Taylor, who recently inspired them by making a fish offering at his sister’s wedding.
They knew then that they were hooked on the idea; they decided to dedicate their next seasonal party to the highlight of summer and the bounty of New England. Chive will continue their mission to highlight the great producers of our region. Local purveyors donating their wares and time include: Isaaks of Salem, who will bring their Sweet Tooth Honey Wine; Cape Ann Brewing Company, who pull up in their Volkswagen Beer Bus to serve the seasonal Bavarian Wheat summer brew; Rowand’s Fish Market of Beverly; Island Creek Oyster Company and their icy boat full of oysters; Taranta will come bearing ceviche; and Sperry Tent will provide shelter. In addition, there will be a cabana built for swimsuit changes and toweling off, so the seaside supper and North Shore experience will be complete.
The freshest of produce and blossoming wildflowers will be delivered straight from the fields by The Food Project- a community organization that engages young people in an effort to give them valuable job experience and increased knowledge in sustainable agriculture and food education in an effort to create a new generation of responsible leaders. For their donation, Chive will return the favor by donating proceeds from the event back to The Food Project.
These dinners are just beginning, each season shall bring new excitement and adventure. So, come get "Hooked;" these dinners are addictive. The fish will be fresh, the produce still warm from the fields, and the company inspiring.
