COME PARTY WITH US AUGUST 17th!

Join us on Saturday, August 17, for our annual farm fundraiser at Star Route Farm! We'll be featuring food from The Tulip and The Rose Café, libations from Honey's Selects, and a lineup of live performances including Eucademix (Yuka C Honda), PEEPERS + Jantar, Kyp Malone, and Terra Cotta. We're offering both concert-only or concert + dinner tickets at a tiered scale for this event. All proceeds go towards sustaining our regional food sovereignty work.

Eucademix is Yuka C Honda, a de-composer and a board member of Catskills Agrarian Alliance. She will be performing from her album Farm Psychedelia, inspired by her visits to Star Route Farm. She is a multi-instrumentalist composer, record producer, and co-founder of the band Cibo Matto.

PEEPERS are an electro-acoustic experimental folk ensemble (featuring members of Stars Like Fleas, Field Guides, Jantar, Public Practice, and others) that blends improvisational and compositional approaches. Cello, percussion, field recordings, bowed glockenspiel, keys, and guitars weave soundscapes like a twilit AM radio dial: kosmische drone sits beneath palimpsestic ambient folk textures and otherworldly, pulsing rhythms. For this performance they will be joined by Chad Laird of “experimental easy listening music” greats Jantar!

Kyp Malone is a singer and guitarist for the band TV On The Radio, who has released several albums including Return to Cookie Mountain, Dear Science, and Nine Types of Light. He's a multi-disciplinary artist working in painting, animation, and music. Over his 20 year career he has collaborated with many artists including most recently, with Estonian artist Kris Lemsalu, for Performa 2017. He has also worked with Tinariwen, David Bowie, his solo project Rain Machine, and Ice Balloons.

The Tulip and The Rose Café

The chefs at The Tulip & The Rose are masters in Turkish, Malay, Indian, Mediterranean cooking along with traditional American and Continental European specialties. Their aim is to bring global tastes to the area using local ingredients.

From their humble beginnings at the Franklin Farmer’s Market on Sundays grilling gyros, The Tulip and the Rose opened its doors in 2014, offering a menu of omelets, pancakes, burgers, and their famous gyros.

Named one of the “Best Places to Eat in the Catskills,” they continue to bring delicious food and an atmosphere of sharing and enjoying to the area.

Food is love! These fundraisers helped us raise money for us to donate our food throughout the season, but also celebrate the food we grow with our community!
