Covington,
KY – The 7th Annual Kenton County Farm Harvest Tour will be held on
Saturday, September 16, 2017. This is a
down-on-the-farm family fun activity in which all local families can
participate. The theme this year is
“Cooking in the Country.” Farmers along the way are getting in on the culinary
fun this year, as they are sharing copies of their favorite family recipes with
visitors.
“This
year we are pleased to have an official Farm Tour Chef,” said Dan Allen, Kenton
Agent for Agriculture. “Taylor Mill
resident and personal chef, Alison McElfresh has more than 25 years of cooking
and culinary training,” continues Allen. Her resume includes diverse
experiences from vegan to a stint at the legendary Maisonette in
Cincinnati. She has created a series of
delicious recipes utilizing ingredients grown locally. Her Lamb with Blackberry Glaze is featured on
the official Farm Tour brochure. In addition to root vegetables, local
Blackberry wines and jams are featured for the perfect glaze for locally raised
lamb. Other recipes by Alison may be
found on the 2017 Kenton County Farm Harvest Tour website.
The
2017 self-guided tour will begin at 9:00 AM and continue until 5:00 PM. Atwood Hill Winery and Redman’s Farm and
Winery are both open until dark.
