Last week we were honored to once more be mentioned in the New York Times. This time they were reflecting on a recent visit from Chef Jonathan Benno, formerly the commandant of the elysian kitchen of Per Se.  Mr. Benno was accompanied by Ariane Daguin, owner of D’Artagnan.  Speaking of Griggstown, they have“the best domestic pheasants in America,” Ms. Daguin said, “because George raises his birds outside” (under nets, though, to keep them from flying off).  If your familiar with our product this comes as no surprise.  We proudly provide our customers with the same product that is served in fine restaurants and small farm markets throughout the east coast.  Without a doubt we are happy to be mentioned in sources like the New York Times! Click here the Link to see the article.

This week at the farm, we have the much anticipated Taste of Somerset Agriculture Picnic.” If you haven’t signed up, you may miss out!  The picnic dinner will honor the life of Farmer Thomas Everett and all proceeds will fund the Somerset County Board of Agriculture’s scholarship named in Tom’s honor.  Tickets are only $25 for adults and $10 for children.  More information and the ticket order form may be found here: http://griggstownquailfarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010TasteofSomersetPicnicflyer.pdf
