Question 1

Foodways programs are living-history demonstrations led by Dennis Picard, a hearth cooking interpreter. These programs explore the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that shaped how ordinary people grew, prepared, and shared food in colonial New England.

Question 2

Is food served at this program?

This is a cooking demonstration, not a dining event. Dennis Picard interprets the foodways and rations of the Revolutionary era through live open-fire cooking. Any sampling is incidental to the demonstration and at the presenter's discretion.

Inside the Stanley-Whitman House, 37 High Street, Farmington, at the historic hearth. Enter from High Street.
