Kale Festival

On Sunday, Dec. 4, celebrate all things kale at a festival in its honor taking place at Mermaid Farm on Middle Road in Chilmark.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature kale cooking demonstrations, kale tastings, a potluck brunch, a kale cook-off and farm tours. No word yet on whether it’s time to break out the kale hats and mittens.

The greens cooking demos start at 10 a.m. and feature Island chefs Susie Middleton, Jan Buhrman, and Cathy Walthers. The kale cook-off and brunch begins at noon. Be prepared to feel good. After all, kale isn’t called the king of calcium for nothing. Bring a potluck dish that contains kale to share at the brunch.
