Slow Food 5th Annual Fall Picnic and Harvest Festival -
Reserve your spot today!
The Slow Food Fall Picnic is a truly unique celebration of the Slow Food traditions. The picnic promises to be an incredible celebration of Oklahoma ’s food traditions as well as a great place to enjoy friends, family and fellow Slow Fooders and people who care about eating well and local! Last year we had almost 450 guests in attendance - and would expect a similar number to attend this year.
The Fall Picnic will be held on the gorgeous 9-acre grounds of the Harn Homestead.
Food will be prepared by some of the fines Oklahoma City chefs using the finest local ingredients. The menu will be sure to be delicious and will be a gourmet twist on traditional picnic concepts. We’re changing out the menu this year, so look for new and exciting items.
Coop Ale Works will be generously providing beer and we will also have fine wines from North Oaks Wine & Spirits as well as other refreshments. Prairie Thunder Baking Company has again generously offered to provide us with artisan breads. Cafe Evoke and Elemental Coffee Roasters will be brewing up wonderful coffee.
This year we will be serving family style – which means no lines - we’ll serve at 4:30, but if you arrive later, we’ll have food for you. Food for the kids will be available at a “kids’ table” and we’ll have hot dogs from Downing Family Farm and macaroni and cheese made with local cheese.
We will have a full slate of Oklahoma food producers who will be available to speak with our guests about the foods they produce as well as representatives from community organizations. Below is a list of the confirmed producers and chefs – we hope to have a full list soon!
There will be live music by Buck Goucher and outdoor seating under the trees on the grounds of this original homestead. We will host old fashioned picnic activities for families and for the little ones we will have a petting zoo, pony rides, and face painting. Local artist and Slow Food member, Elia Woods, will lead the children in arts and crafts. Allen Parlier will be leading our composting efforts.
We promise something for everyone and hope to have perfect weather like we had last year, so come and bring friends and family!
Tickets are $25 per person – all inclusive – if purchased by October 5th (or $30/person if purchased after that date) – check or paypal in advance. We ask you to please reserve early - we try to offer as much locally produced food as possible, which means we can't just run over to the store to buy the picnic foods. Children 10 and under are free.
