Have you signed up for any of the sessions scheduled before the Community Food Summit? There’s plenty to choose from. The one that caught my eye is the Regenerative Farm Tour on Sunday Oct. 2. Regenerating is a good thing to do on a weekend, to clear out big city craziness at various farms, big and small, both urban and rural.
Tour guide Corinna Moebius will visit The Farm at Verde Gardens, Frank Macaluso’s Edible Yard, Yve Rose’s Backyard Food Forest, and Muriel’s Little River Market Garden. The tour runs from 9 am to 3 pm and costs $45.
Included is a stop at Possum Trot Tropical Fruit Nursery, where Robert Barnum, the Cantankerous Chef, will prepare a delicious vegetarian lunch. He’s using as much farm raised and local food as possible. The menu includes:
- drink made with cas guava
vegetable casserole with okra, cabbage, squash, zucchini, tomato sauce (made from Teena’s Pride heirloom tomatoes), betel leaf, topped with Hani’s organic goat cheese- fresh fruit platter including monstera, jakfruit and carambola
- Sem Chi organic rice (grown in Belle Glade FL)
carambola pie- homemade tropical fruit wine (optional)
Register here for the tour and lunch.

Hi, Robert here and due to budget constraints the menu is trimmed to cas beverage, all of my fruits in season platter and rice with jack seeds and annetto.
Is it a bus tour, or all driving?
It’s a bus tour. I might take my car, as these things run over, and I have to be at work at 4.
