DOWN EAST BRUNCH
JUNE 16, 2018, 12 PM ~ Brunch for 24 Guests
Discover the coast of Maine in the Litchfield Hills: lobster rolls, clam chowder, fried clams, crab cakes, blueberry pie -- plus hearty grilled food for you landlubbers. The setting is the lovely, totally energy efficient Old Mt. Tom home of John Post (and reliable sources report that calorie intake at a “net zero” home is just that!!!). The home is a prime example of a net-zero house: so air-tight, well-insulated, and energy-efficient that it produces as much renewable energy as it consumes.
Enjoy outdoor lawn games - including that old favorite: Pin the claw on the lobster! Sea shanties! Great libations--including Moxie! Whoo-hoo!
Hosts: John Post, Michael Kazan, Laura Lasker & Tom Curran, Laura Cardello & Al Macchioni, Ellen Ebbs
