>Rockland County, NY — The Rockland Farm Alliance, an organization committed to facilitating local sustainable agriculture in Rockland County, is offering two gourmet organic Pancake Breakfasts as a fundraiser for its ongoing activities. The breakfasts will take place on March 13th and March 28th, 2010, from 9 am to 12 noon.
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring than a delicious shared meal featuring locally produced ingredients, in support of an important community cause,” says John McDowell, organic farmer and President of the Rockland Farm Alliance.
The Rockland Farm Alliance’s inaugural “maple syrup festival” pancake breakfasts will take place on 2 separate dates in March, 2010. Locally produced maple syrup from Camp Hill Farm and local eggs will be featured at these yummy, family-friendly, eating extravaganzas. The predominantly organic menu will include pancakes (both regular and gluten free), free-range eggs, potatoes, sausage, coffee and juice. Maple Sap for the syrup will be collected from Rockland County by Camp Venture, a not-for-profit provider of family-like care and services to children and adults with developmental disabilities
