On Saturday, April 18, Slow Food East End invites the community to gather for its fifth annual Earth Day Celebration at Golden Acres Organic Farm in Jamesport.
This free, family-friendly event brings together local farmers, food producers, artisans, and environmental advocates for a day rooted in connection — to the land, to food, and to each other.
Guests will enjoy live music by Julia King; fresh, local food and seasonal offerings from East End vendors; the Long Island Aquarium touch tank; educational demonstrations on gardening, composting, and sustainable practices; local farms and producers offering flowers, plants, herbs, eggs, and more; sustainable goods, crafts, books, and baked treats; and fun for the whole family, including face painting.
Set on the scenic grounds of Golden Acres Organic Farm — one of the first organically planted farms on the East End — the event reflects a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and community resilience. The farm has earned the Slow Food Snail of Approval for its soil, business, and community practices.
Whether you’re a grower, a food lover, or simply looking to spend a meaningful spring day outdoors, all are welcome. The rain date is Sunday, April 19.

Rooted in the East End’s agricultural heritage, Slow Food East End supports local growers, food producers, and stewards committed to sustainable practices.
