Sustainable Seafood On The Farm

Connecticut is a shoreline state, which means some of our farmers are farmers of the sea! And just like finding ways to sustainably farm the land, our fisherman are always searching for ways to maintain their harvests by sustainably focusing on better methods to preserve and limit overuse of their fishing areas.
Join us on June 10th at Rosedale Farms & Vineyards as Chef Hunter Morton Culinary Director for the Max Hospitality, translates the fisherman's harvest into a feast inspired by the tastes of the ocean. Chef Morton, who has cooked from coast to coast, will draw inspiration from both the local CT shore and beyond. Enjoy a multitude of small plates as we pay homage to the fresh fruits of the sea.
