Allandale Farm in Brookline has been working the same soil for over two centuries. It is Boston’s last working farm, specializing in sustainably grown fresh produce, and it’s still going strong–the corn is in, so are cherry tomatoes and spring flowering bulbs will be available soon. The farm was recently featured by Boston Zest and will be the locus of a “Chicken Extravaganza” sponsored by Slow Food Boston this Sunday afternoon, August 30. Tremont 647 kitchen staff will be cooking up several scrumptious chicken dishes, with sides, and proceeds will help fund a new Mobile Poultry Processing Unit for Massachusetts farmers, who currently share only one.

Though you can only get as close as the waiting list for Sunday’s event, keep your picnic blanket ready and your ears open for future events at Allandale. Later in the season, fresh native turkeys await!
