“The retreat brings people together, builds community in the forest, gets participants outside and off their screens, and uses nature sustainably to heal and inspire minds and souls,” stated Great Mountain Forest Executive Director Michael Zafros. Retreat registration closes on July 30.
“We’re accustomed and willing to be creative with what’s available,” said Cantina 229 chef/owner Josh Irwin, who hopes current times will create new ways of life for many.
The 24-seat restaurant with a loungy feel is the new collaboration of Billy Paul with Emily and Josh Irwin, co-owners of New Marlborough’s destination restaurant Cantina 229.
Regardless of what chef Josh Irwin makes for the Harvest Supper, it will utilize in-season produce grown on the premises of his restaurant or gleaned from a cache of about five local farmers he tries to support as much as possible.
Last summer, the Cantina opened its doors one night a week for Taco Tuesday and it was hit! This year they re-opened and expanded the menu to “world fare made local.”
