The James Beard Foundation Awards for best restaurants/chefs in the country were handed out yesterday and again an organic/farm-supplied restaurant was recognized (as semi-finalist, but definitely a winner in my book)! We are finally getting somewhere!
Blue Hill, a restaurant in New York City supplied by Blue Hill Farm of Pocantico Hills, NY (which also has a restaurant on its premises (Blue Hill at Stone Barn) as well as a Center for Food and Agriculture), was one of the finalists in the Outstanding Restaurant Category. I have not been to Blue Hill in New York City (yet) but had the good fortune of visiting the Center for Food and Agriculture and Blue Hill at Stone Barn. The farm itself is amazing, with an endless variety of fruit and vegetable fields and pastures with free-roaming chickens and other farm animals. The restaurant on the farm has no menu – instead, diners are presented with a list of available farm-grown ingredients from which they can select their courses.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
