Join Slow Food Knoxville and friends for the 3rd Annual PESTO FESTO!
This year we will head south to Organicism Farms in Seymour, TN where Jessica and Ryan have friendly chickens, mountain views, and an abundant garden to share with us.
Arrive early on September 18th, around 4PM, for Farm Tours, Bocce and Bluegrass on the lawn, and to enter the Pesto Contest! Bring your dancing shoes because the Bearded will be our rollickin' entertainment for the evening!
A locally-sourced, Italian-inspired dinner prepared by the UT Culinary Arts Program and Slow Food Volunteers will be served family style at 6:30, with music and a bonfire under the stars to follow . . .
Please bring your own adult beverages and a blanket to sit on before the meal begins if you wish; the meal will be served at tablecloth adorned tables with chairs provided.
Contact sarah@slowfoodknoxville.org if you are interested in carpool arrangements.
*Pesto Contest notes: Entries must be submitted by 5pm, categories are Best All Around and Most Creative Ingredients. One entry per person per category; please bring one pint minimum of homemade pesto in a container that you do not need returned. There is no entry fee.
