We will set the table in beautiful Prince Edward County for the first-time with a visit to this busy farm that is a bountiful pantry for locals and many fine Bay of Quinte restaurants. Established in 2010, Edwin County Farms encompasses 700 acres and land that has been cultivated for hundreds of years. The farm produces a vast variety of organic vegetable crops, beef and broiler chickens, eggs, wheat, honey and maple syrup, with careful attention to synergistic systems in the fields and stewardship of the surrounding forests. Perhaps we’ll put the table under the wide embrace of oak branches, next to the glistening pond, or in a field of wheat. Our hosts will tell us the history of this land, from the Iroquori to the first settlers to today, and how they have worked to reclaim much of the arable land and restore it to its agricultural glory. Guest chef Coco Gaona will be busy cooking an Argentinian-inspired feast in the field kitchen. He and partner Alejandra run Tiempo, a rustic but refined culinary experience that embraces the Argentinian tradition of live fire cooking and high-quality local ingredients. “Tiempo” is Spanish for “time” — a nod to the precious pause in time of sharing a meal, sitting fireside and appreciating the land. This is bound to be a magical one.
