Celebrate Earth Day with…Clay Hill Unplugged!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Slow Food Seacoast is very excited to be working with a new partner, Clay Hill Farm in Ogunquit, ME - you may know them for the Green Wedding Giveaway contest that was won by friend and frequent partner of Slow Food Seacoast, Jonathan Blakeslee and Joelle Guerard of White Heron Tea! Clay Hill Farm is taking steps into the sustainability movement and has planned a great Earth Day celebration called Clay Hill Unplugged. Slow Food Seacoast will be there!

Clay Hill Farm is on a 30-acre tree farm originally settled in 1780. It’s the only restaurant ever to be certified and congratulated by the National Wildlife Association as a wildlife habitat and bird sanctuary, and is a Maine Certified Environmental Leader. We’re excited that they’ve reached out to the Slow Food movement.

Hope to see you there! This should be a lovely weeknight out.
