Time: 3 PM to 5 PM

Cost: $100  REGISTER NOW

Location: Calico Fields Farm, Millington

Host(s): Mary and Jim Campbell

Shore Talks – what are they? Think TED Talks (as a fundraiser), focusing on Eastern Shore-centric topics.

So much has been done with this small piece of land known as Calico Fields Farm. Experience the farm’s bounty: from fields of lavender – the varieties and the process for extracting the oil used in making lavender products; from bees – their hives and their honey; from the sun – solar energy meeting the farms electrical needs; from aronia berries – making wine and jam; and from hops for brewing beer. Enjoy a picnic inspired by Provence, created on the Eastern Shore.
